Pat Elliott, 76, Hillsboro, North Dakota passed away on Monday, August 19, 2024 at Hillsboro Nursing Home surrounded by his family.
Pat was born on May 13, 1948, in Valley City, North Dakota, to Albert and Lorraine (Diemert) Elliott. He spent his formative years in Galesburg, North Dakota, where he graduated from Clifford-Galesburg High School in 1966 before going on to earn a Bachelor’s Degree in Agricultural Economics from North Dakota State University.
In 1968, Patrick married his high school sweetheart, Mary Halvorson, in a ceremony held in Page, North Dakota. Their bond was a deep and enduring one, providing a foundation of love and support throughout their lives together. Patrick’s career began at the Clifford Elevator, where he worked until 1974, transitioning to farming and custom combining. This passion for agriculture sustained him for decades, tending to his crops and livestock with dedication and care.
As a farmer, he found solace in the rhythms of nature, cherishing moments spent tending to his cattle and monitoring his fields. Pat also enjoyed occasional visits to the casino, finding joy in those simple moments of excitement and leisure. His commitment to his work and his family defined his life, leaving an indelible mark on all who knew him.

I was a classmate of Pat’s for our 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade before my family moved away from Galesburg.
Our classmates of 9 were pretty close in those days. Pat was a good friend. Unfortunately I never kept in touch through the years.
My blessings to Pat and his family.

Thoughts and prayers to the family in this difficult time of loss. May your memories bring a smile to your face.
Mary and all of Pat’s family, friends, and neighbors:
May God comfort and give Peace to those who mourn the loss of Pat. I enjoyed every moment I spent visiting with him as he spent his days with my Dad at Sanford in Hillsboro. Pat will forever be remembered well in this community; his presence meant he was a good companion and friend to all he met. I will miss him; may his journey to his Eternal Home be filled with Blessing as he sought to be just that to those he touched here on earth ~
My thoughts are with you Mary and family.
It’s been a few years since I’ve seen Pat, but he was one of the nicest guys ever and always a joy to be around.
He’ll be missed by many.
So very sorry to the family Pat Elliot. Sympathy to Mary and her children. Always heard kind things about Pat. He was one of the good ones.
