JOLLY, Elden (E.J.)

The White Mountain Independent, Show Low, Arizona ~ August 6, 2007 Elden "E.J." Jolly died July 23, 2007, at RTA Hospice and Palliative Care in Lakeside, with his devoted and loving wife, Kay; his two daughters and their husbands, Denise (Larry) Riley, and Debra (Scott) Wilmoth; grandchildren Jessica and Jeffrey; and also very dear friends. E.J. was a very intelligent, loveable and gentle man, with a multitude of talents, one being his fabulous collection of "old" cars that he built from hard woods. His suffering for so many years was really rough, with many disabilities, but his attitude remained amazingly positive. He never gave up until cancer engulfed his entire body and he was called to heaven quickly and peacefully. His wish was "remember me as I was." His body was donated to Science Care with hopes some of his body parts could be used to help others. E.J. you will be greatly missed! Your strength was an inspiration to us all!
