ELOISE GILLETT Obituary

Eloise H. Gillett, age 93, of El Paso, Texas, passed away Saturday, July 27. She was born on February 18, 1920 in Dennison, Texas and was the daughter of D.M. & Tommie Bailey of Las Cruces, NM. Eloise was a long time Real Estate agent in El Paso. She was quite a lady with an array of friends through all her diverse interests. Square dancing, Bunco, and camping in her high heels, to name a few. You had to be pretty special to catch her without her heels, earrings, and makeup. She will be missed by many! Preceded in death by her husband Richard "Dick" Gillett, son Dicky Ben, brother Robert "Bob" Bailey, and her parents. Eloise is survived by son Tom Gillett (Vicky), daughter Pam Moore (Tom), grandsons Jason Waterbury (Michelle) and Landon Gillett, great grandson Colin Waterbury, sister Virginia Ward (C.W.) and many family members and her special friend Buck. Graveside services and internment will be held at Memory Gardens, 4900 McNutt Rd. in Santa Teresa, NM, at 11am Thursday, August 1, 2013. In lieu of flowers please consider donations to St. Marks Methodist Church on Love Rd in El Paso, or Mesilla Valley Hospice of Las Cruces. Arrangements are with Getz Funeral Home 1410 E. Bowman Ave, Las Cruces New Mexico 88001. To sign the local online guest book visit www.GetzCares.com
