Elinor Louise Beaty Obituary
With heavy hearts, we announce the death of Elinor Louise Beaty (Parker, Colorado), born in Rocky Ford, Colorado, who passed away on November 17, 2018 at the age of 93. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Elinor Louise Beaty to pay them a last tribute.
She is survived by: her parents, Ronald M. Jackson and Lucille Jackson (Gobin); her spouse Edward Eugene "Gene" Pope; her children, Joe and Jack; her spouse John D. "Dave" Beaty; and her brother Alfred Jackson (Al).
She was an avid bridge player, loving it when she would get a "grand slam,' but enjoying the game and the company win or lose. She was a member of the Presbyterian Church and attended Calvary Chapel Parker, as well as, being active in many clubs through the years, including PEO, DAR and was still a Trustee for the William L. Gobin (her uncle) Community Center in Rocky Ford until the time of her death. Elinor described the key to her longevity as the "Three C's - Cocktails, Chips, and Chocolate." She, along with husband Dave, loved a good dirty martini, the filet on the steak, Rocky Ford cantaloupe and believed Chocolate cures all. The only time one might really hear Elinor complain was when each year the "home grown" tomatoes were finished and she had to go back to "store boughts." Ever the optimist, as her health declined in the months before her passing she told her family, "I've had a great and happy life, when God is ready for me, I'm ready to go." She is survived by sons, Joe (KC) Pope of Centennial and Dr. Jack (Patti) Pope of Parker; grandchildren, Alicia (Pope) Chickering (John), Ian Pope, Dave (Jen) Pope, Jennifer (Steve) Pope, Eric (Val) Pope; eleven great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.
