Walter Leo Elliott, age 84, of West Tawakoni, passed away at his home on Saturday, September 7, 2024.
He was born in Quinlan on November 18, 1939, to the late Walter Scott Elliott and Mary Lee Stephens Elliott.
He married Wanda F. Boldin on June 15, 1957, in Dallas, Texas. He enjoyed casinos, traveling, RVing in Destin, Florida, and camping on the weekends. He once won a brand new 1965 Mustang and traded it for a 1965 truck that was perfect for family camping trips. Walter was a wonderful father and took pride in teaching his children self-reliance. He taught them to ski, drive a boat, drive a standard car, and ride motorcycles. He taught his girls that they could do anything a boy could do and even better. Walter always looked forward to the annual family 4th of July Celebrations and fireworks at his home. He worked for Miller Beer Company. He enjoyed a good cold beer and old country music like George Jones.
