Charles Anthony (Tony) Elliott
Tony Elliott, 77, of Indianapolis, Indiana passed away peacefully on Thursday, February 8th, 2024, surrounded by his family. He was born on April 13, 1946, in Washington, Indiana to the late Clarence and Ada (Doyle) Elliott. He married Debbie Lynch on September 23, 1972. Tony was an incredibly loving father and grandfather, an honorably discharged Vietnam veteran, an MBA graduate from the University of Notre Dame, and a retired Mechanical Engineering Manager at RCA, where several of his inventions earned patents.
He loved classic cars and Corvettes, was an avid Notre Dame Football fan, enjoyed watching western movies, making pancakes (“world famous” according to both his children and grandchildren), gardening, taking impeccable care of his lawn, home renovation projects, retreating to warm weather, reading a good book and gathering with his siblings and cousins, but most of all he loved caring for and spending time with his wife, his kids, and his grandkids. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him well.
Tony is survived by the love of his life, Debbie Lynch Elliott; children, Chad Elliott (Pamela), and Kelly Haskett (Chris); five grandchildren, Gregory McCullough, Max Haskett, Joshua Elliott, Jordan Elliott and Ellie Haskett; siblings, Donna VanWinkle, Mike Elliott; sisters-in-law, Irene Elliott, Rita Elliott, Mary Elliott, Thelma Elliott, Carolyn Sinnott; and brother-in-law, Mike Lynch.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Clarence and Ada (Doyle) Elliott; sisters, Naomi (Rocky) Walters, Martha (Merrill) Wolford; brothers, Clarence Jr. (LaVon), Carl (Marie), Curt, Fred (Georgia), Norbert, Larry, and Doyle Elliott; sister-in-law, Vonda Elliott; and brothers-in-law, Bob VanWinkle and Chuck Lynch.
