The Bakersfield Californian 
Douglas Eugene Elliott
Aug. 12, 1946 Oct. 26, 2004

Funeral services will be held Monday, November 1st, 10:00 a.m., in the chapel 
of Greenlawn Mortuary in Bakersfield. A celebration of his life will be held

Douglas Eugene Elliott passed away in Hawaii on October 26, 2004. He was born 
in Bakersfield, California on August 12, 1946 to Myrtle Fawn Green and Richard 
Crosson Elliott.

Dad met the love of his life, Joyce Lillie Lund, at Bakersfield Junior College 
in the spring of 1970 after serving in the U.S. Navy. They were married on 
September 11, 1971. He graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with a degree 
in Electrical Engineering in 1974, and began work at San Diego Gas & Electric, 
where he worked for 30 years.

Doug and Joyce settled in the community of Encinitas, where they raised their 
two children, Kevin an Chrysta. His hands-on approach to life applied to 
everything he did, from adding-on to his house to coaching his kids soccer and 
baseball teams. He was a faithful Padres and Chargers fan, loved the natural 
beauty of the great outdoors, and enjoyed camping, hiking and reading. In 
March 2002, he became a wonderful and proud grandfather to Jacob Douglas 
Elliott.

His dry sense of humor, stubbornness and integrity will always be remembered 
by those who loved him. He is survived by his wife, Joyce; his son, Kevin and 
wife, Sarah; his daughter, Chrysta; his grandson, Jacob; his brothers, Garner 
and Jimmy; and his sisters, Barbara, Laverne, Betty, Thelma and Juanita. He 
will also forever be fondly remembered as a special uncle, cousin, son-in-law, 
brother-in-law, father-in-law & friend.

Viewing will be held on Sunday, October 31, from Noon to 9:00 p.m. at 
Greenlawn Mortuary.
