He was born in Oneida on March 23, 1918 to the late Ross E. Elliott and Myrtle Sexton Elliott. He is also preceded in death by his sister, Lillian Elliott Watts.
Christy was an avid golfer, fisherman and a great lover of the outdoors. His most happy times were spent enjoying his family and friends. Everyone who knew him could feel his love for life and was a little happier for having known him.
He leaves behind his loving wife and best friend for 71 years, Juanita Leach Elliott.
He is also survived by his daughter and son-in-law, Pat and Ken Shrull of Lake City and son and daughter-in-law, Chris and Hazel Elliott of Lake City.

Christy was a faithful member and Deacon-Emeritus of the Clear Branch Baptist Church in Lake City and loved attending services when his health permitted.
A very special group of people in Christy's life were his extended family at the Meadow View Senior Living Community in Clinton. The loving care provided to him will never be forgotten by his family. He loved each and every one of "his girls" as he called them, and they returned his love each and every day.
