Elaine "Ellie" Feist-Riddick

As a wonderful Wife, Mother, Grammy, Sister, Aunt, and Friend Elaine (Ellie) Feist Riddick born Nov 30, 1946 went to be with her Lord and Savior on Wednesday, April 14, 2021. Preceding her in death were her parents, Tony and Aryln Feist of Wisconsin; and a sister, Janice Lawrence of Missouri. Left to cherish her life here on earth are her husband of over 28 years, Bob Riddick; son, John Andrew (Andy) Ratliffe (wife Kim) of West Virginia, Kristin Lovern (husband Mark) of Virginia; step-daughter, Lauren Iglesias (husband Mariano) of Florida; and all her special grandchildren she loved so dearly, Katelin Lovern, Johnny and Lexi Ratliffe, and Olivia and Harper Iglesias. Along with many nieces and nephews and her oldest sister, Audrey Pike of Arkansas. She also had a very special BFF of 40 years, Patricia Babb. Ellie by far had the biggest kind heart that always included any stray animal that made their way to her farm. She loved cats, dogs, her flowerbeds, bird watching, movie watching, and when she could travel, gambling in Tunica or Vegas. Three careers she had during her life, outside of the home were being a Deputy Sheriff in Arizona, worked as an Adjuster for Ford Motor Credit, and her last job before retiring in 1999 was as a Trainer at Allstate Insurance Company in Roanoke.
