With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Drue Margaret Eliot on September 26, 2025, at the age of 18, after a courageous battle with Ewing sarcoma.

Born in Houston, Texas, Drue was a radiant light who faced every challenge with humor, grace, and strength. She was a beloved daughter to DJ and Miekel, and a cherished sister to Page, Reace, and Dawson. Her family, extended family, and many friends will forever carry her spirit in their hearts.

Drue embraced life fully-whether at prom, cheering for her dad's football teams, or spending time at the family's beach home in Florida. She loved makeup, fancy nails, travel, and summer adventures, always bringing joy, wit, and compassion to those around her.

Her memory is one of courage, kindness, and love.
"And though she be but little, she is fierce." – William Shakespeare

A celebration of Drue's life will be held on Thursday, October 2, 2025, at Christ the King Catholic Church, 200 Windsor Avenue, Haddonfield, NJ 08033.
Gathering at 1:00 p.m. | Funeral Mass at 2:00 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Oncology Nurse Navigator Program in honor of Krista Quinn, RN, and to the CHOP Solid Tumor Program, In Memory of Drue Margaret Eliot (https://chop.donordrive.com/campaigns/In-Memory-of-Drue-Margaret-Eliot)
