With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Harold Duane Elliott on March 25, 2026, at AGH, surrounded by his beloved family. Born on April 24, 1943, in Steubenville, Ohio, Harold lived a life filled with purpose and dedication, leaving behind a legacy that will be cherished by all who knew him.

A proud veteran, Harold served in the United States Marine Corps from July 24, 1961, to July 23, 1965, where he earned the rank of E-3. His commitment to service extended beyond his military duties; he later devoted his talents as a sheet metal worker at Weirton Steel Corporation, from which he retired after many years of hard work.

Harold married the love of his life, Mary Ann Rosnick Elliott, on September 29, 1966. Their love story was a testament to their unyielding bond, and together they created a beautiful family.

Harold’s unwavering faith shone brightly throughout his life. A committed member of Memorial Baptist Church in Weirton, he lived out his beliefs every day. He found joy in offering his time to the American Legion Post 10 Honor Guard, honoring fellow veterans with dignity and respect. A man of many passions, Harold delighted in old-time Gospel music and even had the opportunity to meet legendary country artist George Jones.

He was known for his remarkable garden, a testament to his green thumb and hard work. He cherished the moments spent fishing and hunting in Tyler County, West Virginia, surrounded by the beauty of nature.

In addition to his parents, Harold was preceded in death by his wife Mary Ann, son Ronald, brother Clyde Elliott, and sister Joan Spano.

Left to cherish his loving memory are his daughter, Holly (Randall) Horn of Clover, South Carolina; brothers, Floyd “Pete” Elliott and Charles “Chuck” Elliott; sister, Shirley Jenkins; and grandchildren, Patrick Elliott, Michael Horn, and Baylee (Tyler) Deese, and many nieces and nephews.

Friends and family are invited to visit Harold’s family on Friday, March 27, from 4-7 pm at the Greco-Hertnick Funeral Home, 3219 Main Street, Weirton, where Funeral Services for Harold will be held Saturday at 11 am.

Rev. William Stout will officiate

The American Legion Post 10 Honor Guard will provide local Military Honors.
