Evelyn L. Pete Elliott

Evelyn, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, sister, and friend to many, was born November 6, 1940, in Bethel, AK, and passed on January 3, 2021.

She will be remembered fondly for the love and faith she shared with many people during her life. She worked for Wien Air Alaska as a radio operator early on while raising her family, then for the state as a public assistance case manager until her retirement.

She stayed committed to her Bethel community as a tireless volunteer for the local Catholic Church, VFW Ladies Auxiliary, and by hosting many new friends she met. Evelyn loved playing cards, watching musicals, opera, and singing with groups. She enjoyed traveling to many places across the world with friends and visiting both in- and out-of-state. She spent many of her retirement winter months in Florence, AZ.

She was married for 61 years to Donald Elliott, her cowboy sweetheart.

She leaves behind her son, Glenn (Kyla); daughters, Sundi and Kerry Hondl, Rebecca (Mike) Maloy, Jill (Mike) Hoffman, and Donna (Chris) Bach; grandchildren, Robyn Rodrigues, Jamie Herring, Marshal Maloy, Jenna and Kenneth Hondl, Elliott and Taylor Hoffman, Abigail and Leviticus Elliott, and Geneine Kelly, Zahn and Adonna “Santi” Bach; and great grands, Mason and Jensen Maloy, Dottie and Lucy Herring, and Maximillian Rodrigues. She is also survived by her sisters, Margaret Chaney, Linda Joule; and brothers, Jimmy Pete Sr., and Gary Pete.

She was preceded in death by son, Scott Elliott; parents, William and Cecelia Pete; siblings, George, Joe, Fred, Billy, Mary Romer, Bing Santamour, and Carol Pete.

She had a full Catholic mass on January 13, 2021, attended by many friends and relatives via Zoom, and will be buried in Bethel later this summer.
