Mr. Elias was born on January 18, 1941, in Monroe and passed away on March 10, 2020, in Monroe at his residence with his family by his side. He was preceded in death by his parents, George and Lillian Elias and brother-in-law, Ricky Inzina.
George “Silky” Elias was a devoted husband and father. He was a devout catholic and was proud of his faith being a member at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church. George earned the name Silky from his golfing buddies because of the Silky-smooth stroke he had. He was an avid outdoorsman. Aside from his love of bass fishing and bowhunting his passion for the cut down OLT duck calls and greenheads was passed down to all of his kids. George didn’t meet a stranger and had a zest for life. The only thing that rivaled his love for Christ was his love for Betty for over 56 years.
Survivors include his wife, Betty Elias; children. Rosemary Baker and husband Tim; George C. Elias and wife Donna; Leslie Cheney and husband Todd; and Jason Elias and wife Jennifer; grandchildren, Ty Baker, Ragan McDerment and husband John, Joshua Baker and wife Jin Lin, Erin Hulsey and husband Danny, Christopher Elias, Myah Elias, Brantley Cheney, Morgan Cheney, Hannah Keostler and husband Britton, Elizabeth “LuLu” Elias, thirteen great grandchildren, three sisters, Adeline Inzina, Marylin Neely and husband Bo, and Mary Francis Elias, and brother, Charles Elias and wife Sharon.
Pallbearers will be Abe Elias, Donnie Elias, Chad Elias, Brad Elias, Brian Elias, Steve Whipple, Mark Neely, and Trey Martin.
Visitation will be from 12:30PM to 2:30PM Thursday at the funeral home.
The family would like to express a special thanks to his sitters, Cathryn Coleman, Beverly Jenkins, Barbara Dowels, and Billie Wilson and also to Premiere Hospice.
Memorials may be made to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital.
