Obituary for Rita Rebecca Elliott

Passed peacefully away at Oram's Birchview Manor on May 6th, 2017 surrounded by her loving family, Pastor Mrs Rita Elliott of Glovertown, at the wonderful age of 98 years.
Predeceased by husband Pastor Benjamin Elliott, Parents, Elizabeth and Charles Guy; brother John; sisters in law Pearl and Selina Elliott; Gladys Jacobs and Selena Guy. Brothers in law Ralph Elliott; Thomas Wells and Jack Jacobs.
Left to mourn with loving memories, Daughter Elizabeth (Dawson); Grandchildren, Paul (Karen); Pauline (Warren); Great Grandchildren; Crystal, Justin (Erica) Victoria (Patrick); Joshua
Great Great Grandchildren, who were her pride and joy and love of her life. Lily, Nathan, and Madelyn.
Her only Sister Ina Wells; brother in Law Gilbert Elliott, Nieces and nephews and extended family and friends. Pastor Rita and Benjamin Elliott spent their life spreading the good news of the gospel, to many communities in NL. They travelled around the island by boat (The Gospel Pioneer) and held services in many coastal communities. They were first resident Pastors in Glovertown 1948, and Bonavista 1954. They concluded their ministry as Visitation Pastors at Windsor, NL in 1983. Pastor Rita started the first Women's Ministry at the Pentecostal Church in Glovertown in 1966. The early days of ministry within the Pentecostal Assemblies Of Newfoundland and Labrador were not easy, with very little money, however, on very limited resources this amazing couple managed to build churches and Parsonages in many communities. Pastor Rita moved to Oram's Birchview Manor in 2008, and became the counsellor for all of the staff at the home, as well as the head of canteen services. At the ripe age of 93 years old, she decided to learn  how to use her Ipad, and became a regular user of facebook and text her family and friends right up to the day before she passed.

Resting at Oram's Funeral Home with visitation Monday 2-4 and 7-9.
Funeral Service to take place from the Pentecostal Church, Glovertown on Tuesday 2pm, with internment to follow at the Pentecostal Church Cemetery, Glovertown.
