Patricia passed away quietly in her home in Lawton on Sunday, Feb. 13, 2022 at the age of 40. Patricia was born on Mar. 24 1981 to parents James C. Elliott, III and Nancy I. Hall Elliott at Reynolds Army Community Hospital, Fort Sill, Oklahoma.

Patricia suffered severe brain trauma at birth and had multiple physical and cognitive challenges throughout her life. Given all her difficulties, she still managed to communicate a large range of emotions, leaving little doubt if she was happy or angry.

Patricia lived at home for the first nine years of her life. She attended the Col. Greiner School for the Handicapped until she became eligible to attend Lawton Public Schools.  She certainly loved Col. Greiner and he loved her.

In 1984 she participated for one year in a special program for multi-handicapped pre-school children at the Parkview School of the Blind in Muskogee, Oklahoma.

Patricia had many angels in her life.

Patricia's first caretaker, besides family, was Mrs. Beverly Edwards who took Patricia in her arms in her home-based day care center.

Carole McIntyre was her next angel who was an aid dedicated to assisting at home.  She cared for Patricia before and after school and soon became a member of the family. Eventually Patricia moved in with Carole and lived with her for many years.

Patricia eventually moved into a group home in Lawton which was managed by Community Access. The staff took great care of her and her family is grateful for their dedication.

Patricia attended Lawton Public Schools eventually graduating from MacArthur High School. She then began attending the Goodwill Adult Day Care.

Patricia was a happy girl who loved music; squeaks, bells & whistles from the television; swimming, being outside, going for walks, butternut squash, yogurt, cake & ice cream.

And she especially loved her big brother.

She is preceded in death by her paternal grandmother, Mary Elaine Elliott of Arlington, Massachusetts; paternal grandfather and step-grandmother, James C. Elliott, Jr. and Cynthia Elliott of Lawton, Oklahoma; maternal grandparents, Charles R. & Margaret M. Hall of Waltham, Massachusetts; aunt and uncle, Maureen and John Kilderry, III and cousin, John F. Kilderry, IV of Melbourne, Florida; and cousin, Brian DeKorte of Manchester, New Hampshire.

She will be missed by her parents, brother James C. Elliott, IV and his wife Laci of Parker, Texas; aunt and uncle, Linda and Steve Jamele of Sanbornton, New Hampshire; uncles John Simon and Jeff Morfitt, Lawton, Oklahoma; nephew and niece, Jackson C. Elliott and Madison A. Elliott of Parker, Texas; cousins Robert S. DeKorte, Jr. of Elizabethtown, Kentucky and Cheryl L. DeKorte of Framingham, Massachusetts.
