Vickie Lee Fish Elliott
MURRAY/HUNTINGTON-A noble, caring wife, daughter, sister, mother and grandmother, Vickie Lee Fish Elliott, passed from this life unexpectedly on the morning of Sept. 22, 2007 due to a chronic medical condition she had fought and conquered for many years.
She was born to William Hugh Fish and LeOra Brodrick Fish on Jan. 21, 1950 in Price. She grew up in Huntington, graduated from Emery County High School and went on to graduate from Salt Lake City Community College.
She was the prototype for Nanas and spent her most glorious moments surrounded by her children and grandchildren.
Nana’s was the place snacks, tickles, hugs and where Sponge Bob Square Pants ran 24 hours a day. Nana’s was the place to get elastic sewn in saggy pants and the most glorious hug ever to mend a hurting knee. Only a nana hug will fix the emptiness she has left in our hearts and lives.
Nana is survived by her parents, Huntington; sisters, Brenda (Shon) Frye, Sigurd; Susan (Bill) Moore; niece, Elizabeth, Monett, Mo.; brother Scott Hugh Fish, Yarnell, Ariz; husband of 35 years, Kenneth L. Elliott. Murray; sons, Kevin (Maurine) Elliott, Salt Lake City; Michael (Teniel) Elliott, Salt Lake City; daughter, Shannon Elliott, Salt Lake City; grandchildren, Hannah Jane Elliott, Hailey Elliott, unborn baby boy Elliott, Jacye Swenson, Bailey Swenson and her most special buddies, Trey Joseph Elliott and Mehki Michael Elliott.
Mom, thank you for the honor of being your daughter. You will always be my best friend and Trey will always know how his Nana punk loved him. Love Shan.
No farewells were spoken. There was no time for good-byes. You were gone before we knew it. Only God knows why
If tears could build a stairway and hearts build a lane, we would walk the way to heaven and bring you back again
Friends may think we’ve forgotten, when at times they see us smile. Little do they know the heartaches are smiles hidden all the while
To some, you may be forgotten, to others, a part of the past. But to those who loved you, lost you, your memory will always last.
Always in our minds and forever in our hearts, we love you the mostest, sister sunshine.
Funeral services were Sept. 25 at the Cottonwood LDS Stake House. Internment, Mt. View Memorial Estates in Murray.
