George Thomas Elieff

George Thomas Elieff, 90, of Mountain Home, Arkansas, passed away peacefully on December 26, 2024. Born on June 19, 1934, in Cincinnati, Ohio, he was the beloved son of Christ and Estelle Whitten Elieff. A proud U.S. Army veteran, George served his country with honor.

In 1960, George married Carol Mayer in Chicago, and together they built a loving family. His career as a letter carrier for the United States Postal Service was marked by dedication and service to the community. In 1994, George and Carol moved to Mountain Home from Chicago, where he became an active member of the Holy Cross Lutheran Church.

He is survived by his son, Gregory (Violet) Elieff; his daughter, Cheryl (Frank) Musto; granddaughter, Angela (Eric) Garcia; and great-grandson, Daniel. George was preceded in death by his wife, Carol Louise Elieff; his parents, Christ and Estelle Elieff; and his brother, John Elieff.
