Harold Wesley Elliott

ELLIOTT, Harold Wesley George

Harold Elliott passed away peacefully at the Peter Lougheed Centre after a lengthy battle with Alzheimer’s on Monday, October 16, 2017 at age of 74 years.

Harold was born and lived in around Belleville, Ontario until 1980. While living in Belleville, he enjoyed hunting with his good friends every fall and fishing year-round. He was a pilot and loved to fly with friends and relatives in his small plane he owned.

Harold decided in 1980 to come to Alberta to take part in the Alberta boom. He and his family, wife Betsy and daughters Laurie and Teresa lived in Calgary until 1985. Harold found new ventures in Lethbridge, Alberta and lived in Lethbridge until last few years. Harold then lived in a Seniors home in Calgary. While living in Lethbridge, he was part of The Miners Library and The Odd Fellows where he volunteered his time to support local charities. He decided to skydive for his 60th Birthday - It was a thrill of a life time!!

Harold worked in sales of cabinets and floor coverings most of his life and during his time in sales he was known to be able to sell ice to an Eskimo. He also was a great story teller.

Harold loved his grandchildren and would get down on the floor and play with them. They brightened his day even when they got older Harold is lovingly remembered by daughters, Laurie Baker(Bret) and Teresa Elliott- Doersam; grandchildren, Jodi Atfield (Jeff), Michael Baker, Paytyn Doersam; 2 great granddaughters, Jayda and Jemma Atfield; and brothers, William Elliott (Elaine) and Wayne Elliott. He was predeceased by his loving wife, Betsy Elliott; his parents, Wesley and Elsie Elliott and brother, Ronald Elliott.

Harold will be greatly missed by many friends and family. A private family Celebration of Harold’s Life will be held.
