Jerry Elliott Obituary

Jerry Wayne Elliott

Jerry Wayne Elliott, 70, of Findlay, passed away Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2023, at his residence with his family by his side.

He was born Oct. 2, 1952, in Jeffersonville, Kentucky, the son of the late Clyde and Lena (Atkins) Elliott. He married Rosa Hughes on April 9, 1982, and she survives in Findlay.

Jerry's survivors also include his sons, Jamie (Marlena) Elliott of Fostoria and Derrick (Ashley) Elliott of Findlay; four grandchildren, Brittany, Jerrett, Bennett, and Cameron; four great-grandchildren, Ezekiel, Jayden, Ezrielle, and Octavia; and two sisters, Bonnie (Grady) Watkins of Jerseyville, Illinois, and Sue (Morris) Baker of Mt. Sterling, Kentucky.

Jerry was preceded in death by his parents; six brothers; and three sisters.

Jerry retired in 2013 from Whirlpool Corporation, Findlay, where he was a supervisor in the dish rack department. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and golf. He also was a fan of University of Kentucky in all sports, but his true love was his family and spending time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

To the family of Jerry Elliott
I was so very sorry to read of the loss of Jerry. I remember when he came to Findlay Whirlpool and learned that he was from my old stomping grounds ,Mt Sterling Ky ( Morehead). We were both big UK fans and would talk about the games. Such a kind compassionate soul. I know he will be missed. My deepest sympathy to all family and friends. Rest Easy Jerry and I´ll see you on the other side of Jordan one day soon . Remembering you all in prayer
