Carroll Thomas Elliott, Sr.
(d. 12 Sept 2015)

Newport News High School Class of 1957

I received a call this afternoon from   Nancy Timberlake Spencer, class of ’57. She asked that I do whatever I can to spread the word that a guy in her class passed away on Saturday in Seaford, Delaware. He is Carroll Thomas Elliott (C.T.). He is the husband of Ann Cain, class of ’58.

Nancy said that his picture is not in the yearbook as he was drafted into the military; however, he did actually graduate and get a diploma from N.N.H.S., she stated.

Ann Cain Elliott's address is 300 Graham Branch Road, Seaford, Delaware 19973.

   Oh, Fred, I'm very sorry to learn this. Thank you both so much for letting me know.
