In 1941, the couple moved to St. Louis, Mo., where he was affiliated with the Air Force Civil Service. In 1948, they were transferred to Chicago, where she worked for the Fifth Army headquarters. In 1953, her husband was transferred to Tinker Air Force Base, from where he later retired.
Elliott was in the first volunteer group at Baptist Hospital and became a 45-year member. She was also active in Mayfair Baptist Church and the Oklahoma Hospitality Club.
In 1999, she moved to Stillwater to be near her daughter, Carolyn.
She was predeceased by her parents; her husband, who died Dec. 15, 1992; one brother, George "Sonny" Cobble; and two sons-in-law, Dr. Ted Reeder and Cecil Grissom.
