Tiffany Ann
Elliott
Feb 1, 2019 — Sep 16, 2026
Delmar
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Tiffany Ann Elliott, a vibrant and beloved young soul who left us far too soon at the tender age of 7 due to a tragic accident. Born on February 1, 2019, in Salisbury, MD, Tiffany is a daughter of Joshua and Kelly Calder Elliott. She brought joy and light into the lives of everyone around her.
Tiffany was a shining star in the 2nd grade at Northwestern Elementary School, where she was a straight-A student. Her love for school was evident, as she thrived on helping her teachers and fellow classmates. Known for her exuberant personality, Tiffany was a true girly girl who adored pink, unicorns, butterflies, and angels. She took great joy in doing her own hair, nails, and makeup, often treating her family and friends to her creative talents. She loved animals, especially her late dog Sheba.
Her boundless enthusiasm extended beyond academics. Tiffany cherished spending quality time with her family, especially during evening meals, crafting 3D dragons, and setting up a roadside stand with her sister, Tina and friends to sell fruits, vegetables, and handmade bracelets. She loved helping her grandmother in the fields, where her determined spirit shone brightly-this, alongside her sassy nature, earned her the affectionate nickname "Little Vivian."
Tiffany's fondness for all things chocolate-especially ice cream and Hershey's chocolate-was a testament to her sweet personality. Her favorite bedtime routine was to recite "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" with her sister, Tina and parents. She will be remembered for her loving heart and vibrant spirit by those who had the pleasure of knowing her.
Tiffany was an avid fan of female country artists especially Ella Langley and Lanie Wilson and will always be remembered when her family and friends hear the song, "Choosing Texas" one of Tiffany's favorites.
Tiffany is survived by her loving parents, Joshua and Kelly Calder Elliott; her siblings, Tina Elliott, Joshua J. Elliott, and Makinzey Elliott; her beloved niece, Melody Robinson; grandmother, Vivian Calder; grandfather, David E. Elliott; uncle and aunt, Matt and Kayle Elliott; and uncle and aunt, Dan and Ashley Calder and their children, Daniel, River, Avery and Reed; and several great aunts and uncles, cousins and friends, all of whom will carry her memory in their hearts forever.
She was preceded in death by her grandmother, Tina Louise Elliott, and grandfather, R.D. Calder, Sr.
Funeral services will be held on Sunday, September 27, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. at the Mardela Volunteer Fire Department, where family and friends may attend a visitation from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm. Interment will be private for family. To honor Tiffany's memory and show love and support to her family, please wear Tiffany's favorite color pink or bright, happy colors.
