ELLIOTT, CLEO A. - formerly of New Maryland, NB passed away on April 12, 2008 at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Hospital with her family at her side. Cleo was born in Charlotte Co., St. George, NB to the late Hubert and Lillian (Tucker) Seamans on May 8, 1924. Cleo lived her early life in St. George. While working as a waitress at the St. George Inn during World War II she met and then married her husband, the late, William E. Elliott (Bill) (d. 2006) on August 20, 1943. Cleo, Bill and children called St. George, Woodstock, St. Andrews, Nackawic and finally New Maryland, NB home. Cleo loved family & friends, Christmas, baking, shopping, playing the piano, listening to music and dabbing her toes in the salt water. She excelled at homemaking. Throughout her life she welcomed countless numbers of guests to her table for meals, sweets and cups of tea. One could not leave her presence without being nourished by her wonderful gift for food preparation. Cleo was a member of the St. George Baptist Church.
