1938 – 2016

FAYETTE — Corliss A. “Hannah” Elliott, 77, of Fayette, died on Friday, Jan. 1, at her home surrounded by her loving family.

Hannah was born on Sept. 30, 1938, in Epping, N.H., the second oldest child of William and Nellie (Denyou) Currier. She grew up in New Hampshire where she received her education. Hannah married Augustus “Gus” Elliott on Nov. 19, 1955.

Hannah was a true homemaker who took pride in caring for her family. With nine children to care for, she was a wonderful mother who knew how keep everyone clothed, fed and happy. She was most known for her homemade yeast rolls and her honey-dipped doughnuts which attracted many neighborhood kids throughout the years. During Thanksgiving, she would make an average of 24 pies — one year she made 36! For most of her life, Hannah cooked everything on a hot wood stove, even in the summertime. In her spare time, she enjoyed going to to play Bingo with her girls. Hannah was simple, to the point and old school; true matriarch in every sense of the word.
