Susan Elliott

We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ Dahl Funeral Chapel

Elli was a respected and beloved Westar Institute scholar, staff member and director of the Bible Search and Rescue project. We were proud to introduce "The Order of Susan M. (Elli) Elliott Award" to her, which was established in her honor. What follows is what is written on the "Elli" Award page. "It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of Susan M. (Elli) Elliott on May 6, 2024. In her honor, we are proud to introduce "The Order of Susan M. (Elli) Elliott Award," established by the Westar Institute. The inception of this award in February 2024, unanimously affirmed by our board of directors, was a testament to the indelible mark Elli left on our community and the field she so passionately enriched. Elli was more than just a trailblazer; she was a beacon of knowledge, compassion, and unwavering dedication. It is only fitting that Elli herself became the first recipient of this distinguished award, presented to her on May 4, 2024. This award honors her immense contributions, her inspiring leadership, and her enduring legacy that will continue to guide us all. Elli's loss is felt deeply by all who had the privilege to know her and work alongside her. Her spirit and achievements will forever be etched in the annals of our institute and in the hearts of those she touched. We dedicate The Order of Susan M. (Elli) Elliott Award to her memory, ensuring that her legacy of excellence, kindness, and scholarly rigor continues to inspire future generations. Rest in peace, dear Elli. Your light will never fade."

Sorry for your loss!
