Obituary: Elliott, Doris Hazel
Doris is survived by her husband of 69 years James M. Elliott II.
Jim and Doris met when they were 13 years old.
They were married July 15th 1946 in Coeur d’ Alene Idaho.
They were blessed with three children, Carol J Woltjer (Husband Tom), Barbara J Smith (Husband Tracy), and James M. Elliott III, who preceded his mother in death.
She is also survived by eight granddaughters, 11 great-grandchildren and one great-great-granddaughter.
Doris was employed by the Bon Marche’ for 22 years where she was affectionately known by customers and staff as “the Bra Lady.”
After retiring from the Bon Marche’ in 1992 she began volunteering at the Sacred Heart Hospital gift shop where she served for 21 years and cultivated many close friendships.
She and Jim became members of Dishman Baptist Church in 1974.
She served in many positions in the church, loved her church family and was a great encouragement to all who crossed her path there.
She was an amazing card and note writer remembering special occasions of both family and friends.
All of her Grandchildren called her “Meme” as did most of those who knew her.
Everyone loved our “Meme.”
A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday November 14, at 4:00 at Dishman Baptist Church 315 North Argonne Road, Spokane Valley, Wa 99212.
