Elliott Jeff McCord, age 80, of Guntersville, Alabama left this earthly home on February 26, 2024 surrounded by family. He was born January 5, 1944 in Childersburg, Alabama. He was the son of Talmage and Fannie Lula McCord. He graduated from Randolph High School, and retired from Alabama Electric as an electrician. He and his late wife, Carolyn McCord were married for 41 years.

He was an avid sports fan – and was usually found watching Auburn football or NASCAR in his recliner while drinking coffee. He was well known in the Georgia Mountain community as the old man on his golf cart cleaning up trash. He loved his family immensely. His smile was contagious and he loved to give compliments. He was saved and baptized as a young man.
