Reflecting her generous spirit and commitment to giving back, Elliott requested that, in lieu of gifts, guests extend support to the residents under the care of the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Ann, Phil., Inc. The occasion thus became not only a celebration of life but also a meaningful act of charity.
