Elisabeth Elliot (née Howard; December 21, 1926 – June 15, 2015) was a Christian author and speaker.
Her first husband, Jim Elliot, was killed in 1956 while attempting to make missionary contact with the Auca (now known as Huaorani; also rendered as Waorani or Waodani) of eastern Ecuador.
She later spent two years as a missionary to the tribe members who killed her husband.
Returning to the United States after many years in South America, she became widely known as the author of over twenty books and as a speaker.
Elliot toured the country, sharing her knowledge and experience, well into her seventies.
