Eloise "Ellie" Acord Obituary (1930 - 2026)

Lylian Eloise “Ellie” Acord, beloved mother, grandmother, and cherished friend, passed away peacefully on January 1, 2026, at the age of 95. Born on April 10, 1930, in Dundalk, Maryland, Ellie lived a life full of love, kindness, and devotion to her family. Her kitchen was always a place of comfort—whether she was preparing meals for her grandsons or hosting Thanksgiving dinner. She could often be found with a word search or a good book in hand, a slice of raisin bread or a cup of coffee nearby, savoring quiet moments until it was time to cheer for her favorite football team, the BALTIMORE RAVENS, on game day. Her family was her greatest joy, and she leaves behind a legacy of love and strength. Ellie is survived by Kay Haw and Chet Walton; Justin, Kari, and Kaili Haw; Annie Westley; and Nala Haw. Preceded in death by her beloved husband, Victor. She joins him and her grandson, Jeremy Haw, in eternal rest. A viewing will be held in Utah on Wednesday, January 7, 2026 at Myers Mortuary, 5865 S 1900 W, Roy, UT, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM for her local family and friends who wish to pay their respects.
