| Mohave Daily News, Mohave Valley, AZ - Published in Mohave Daily News Online from Oct. 22 to Oct. 29, 2014 - Patricia (Pat) Ellet, age 83, passed away on Sunday, Oct. 19, 2014. She was born on September 24, 1931 to Lilly Duncan, a telephone operator. Enduring a hardscrabble existence throughout her childhood, she was also a favorite of many aunts, uncles and cousins. She met and married Joe Ellet, the love of her life, with whom she would raise four children. After a stint in the Navy, Joe finished his education and became a school teacher in West Texas. The family moved to Coolidge, Ariz. in the 50's where Joe taught Biology and Pat went to cosmetology school. She built a loyal and large clientele at Pat's Beauty Shop until 1969 when they moved to Bullhead City, Ariz (and the Pink Mink Salon!). Another promotion took Joe and Pat to southern Arizona in Tacna, where Pat did volunteer work for the local hospice. They made lifelong friends everywhere they lived. Retirement led them to settle in Mesquite, Nev., where they raised their grandson, Jerrod Lee, after his mother's untimely death. The Ellets spent their later years escaping the Nevada summer heat and traveling extensively in their luxurious motor home. She was preceded in death by her husband, Joe (10/24/2009);and son, Danny Joe (10/31/2000). Pat is survived by her three daughters, Vicki (Paul) Montijo, Conni (Steve) Hansen, and Cindee (Tracy) Wootton; six grandchildren, 14 great- grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren. A celebration of Pat's life will be held at 4:00 p.m. on Friday, October 24, 2014, at Hemenway Park, 401 Ville Dr., Boulder City, NV. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the local Alzheimer's Association . Honey, You will be forever in our hearts. |
