Biographical History
Norma Larson Elliott (1916-2009) was a Mormon family history specialist in Arizona.
Norma Larson Elliott was born on May 30, 1916 to Margaret Smith (1884-1973) and Alof Pratt Larson (1882-1961) in Lakeside, Arizona. She studied family history at Brigham Young University in 1962, and it remained a passion for her whole life. She not only found much of the genealogy that is listed for the Larson, Smith, Hunt, and Marsden families, but also collected their histories. She also maintained records about her parents' homestead businesses, Latter-day Saint missions, and lives.
She had no children of her own, but was a motherly influence in the lives of her nieces and nephews.
Elliott died on June 5, 2009 in Tempe, Arizona.
