Fred Elliott, 91, died June 3, 2008, in Farmerville, La.

He was born in Houston, to parents Felix and Laura Elliott. He worked for Lion Oil in El Dorado, where he met his wife , Freida Allison. They married after his return from service in the Navy during World War II.

They moved to Luling, La., when he was transferred to work at the Lion Oil Barton Plant. This plant became the Monsanto Luling Plant where he eventually became plant manager. They then moved to the St. Louis area where he continued his career with Monsanto. Looking to become more involved in plant management, they moved to Baytown, Texas, where he was hired as the plant manager of MoBay Chemical (later to become Bayer).

He and his wife, Freida, made Baytown their home for 32 years prior to moving to Baton Rouge, La., to live close to one of their children. After Freida passed away in 2003, Fred moved back to Baytown, where he lived until just recently when he moved to Farmerville where he again would be close to family and needed care.

He was a strong, extraordinary person who loved his wife and family.

Survivors include his sons, Frederic and his wife, Susan, Michael and his wife, Pam, and John and his wife, Kelly; grandchildren, Laura, Sarah, Brian, Krysten and Michael; and brother, Robert.

He will be greatly missed, fondly remembered and forever loved by those of us fortunate enough to have known him.
