She was my 5th-grade teacher at Prince Frederick Elementary. She loved having us sing Elvis Presley songs. She was a treasure.

Fond memories… Many years ago… My mother (Eva Grover) was a Calvert County school teacher when all the county teachers worked together, studied together—and played together with their families. Thankful for those days and for the lasting memories. A teacher lives on in the lives of their many students. God’s peace and blessed assurance.

Mrs. Elliott was my 5th grade teacher at Pr. Fred. Elementary School. She loved to play records and dance around the middle of the room in some of the most stunning shoes I had ever seen. She was an excellent teacher, giving her students much individual care. Forty-five years later when I would see her out shopping I would recall stories of her. She was always grateful to reminisce with me. She was a very fine person. My love to all whose heart she touched.

To Bowen/Elliott Families, Such a nice person, always very kind. I always enjoyed talking with her. My youngest brother had her as a teacher. She came when he passed away. I will always be grateful. Her mother was my elementary school 5th & 6th grade teacher and principal at Huntingtown Elementary School and her father was my bus driver. I knew her most of my life. Never changed and very social person. Always remembered your name & your family. Another Angel has arrived in heaven. Remember the wonderful memories. God Bless.
