Elton Artis Obituary

Elton Artis Sr. VIRGINIA BEACH - On Jan. 16, 2009, after a two-year battle with illness, Elton E. Artis transitioned from life on earth to a life with the Lord. Elton retired after 36 years of federal service where he enjoyed his retirement in Salem Lakes located in Virginia Beach. Elton admired the views of the beach, eating with family, and entertaining telemarketers. He was a man of wisdom and great companionship. He was always known for his patience which fueled his determination. This resulted in a lifetime of happiness, opportunity and success. He will be missed. A funeral will be held Saturday in the chapel of Hale Funeral Home at 10 a.m. Family and friends will assemble at the funeral home. Interment will be private. www.halefuneralhome.com.

To A Dear Father in Law and Gracious Grandfather

So when this corruptable has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written:" Death is swallowed up in victory." O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?" 1 Corinthians 15:54-55

May the Lord watch over your soul until we meet again in heaven.
