She was born and raised in Hartshorne during the Great Depression, but never felt deprived, having gardens, cattle, chickens, lakes, and streams. She graduated from Hartshorne High School in 1944 amidst the onset of World War II and the associated rationing and shortages. Dorothy attended college at Phillips University in Enid Oklahoma. She graduated with a bachelor's degree in Business Education. At Phillips, she met and married fellow classmate, Sheldon Elliott on August 14, 1948 in Hartshorne. While Sheldon pursued a master's degree at the University of Michigan, Dorothy supported the family by working as a Business teacher at Stockbridge High School. After her children were grown, she worked as a substitute teacher and as an assistant librarian in Bartlesville. Dorothy had a lifelong association with the First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Bartlesville. She was a church school teacher, a member of Church Women's Fellowship, Church Women United, and Partners for Community Service. During their retirement, Dorothy and Sheldon enjoyed travelling and spending time with their granddaughters. Dorothy, an avid genealogist, seamstress, and quilter, has left a legacy of family history, hand-made dresses, blankets, and quilts for her family. Survivors include three daughters, Linda Elliott (and James Peterson) of Austin, Texas, Amy Susan Elliott of Billings, Montana and Laura Elliott (and husband Scott Meyers) of Highlands Ranch, Colorado; grandchildren, Lauren (and husband Sean) Harrington of Austin, Texas, Alexandra Tillman (and husband John Cashen) of Aurora, Colorado and Julia Elliott of Billings, Montana; and one great-grandchild, Sean Harrington. She was preceded in death by her husband, Sheldon Ellwood Elliott; her parents, Emmett Calvin Trueblood and Wynema (Sparks) Trueblood; and one sister, Nelma Ann (Trueblood) Choate. Funeral arrangements are under the direction of Brumley-Mills Funeral Home of Hartshorne, Oklahoma.
