Patricia Brainard Elliott only lived a short 45 years on this earth, but left a legacy far beyond that. She was a giver in every sense of the word. She took care of her parents until their deaths, always helped anyone she could and always had a smile on her face. This endowment was created with a gift from the Franciscan Sisters of the Poor and cousin, Dave Thomas in 1998 and is to be used for community benevolent assistance.
