Elaine was born on January 2, 1955, in Sudbury, Ontario and passed away peacefully with family by her side on May 2, 2021, in Trail, British Columbia.
Beloved mother to Kathleen, Sarah (Colin), Lauren and Edward (Harmony). Elaine was a dear sister to Audrey, Robert (Jennifer), and Lorne, and she will be deeply missed by her three grandchildren Clark, Charlie and Josephine. Elaine was predeceased by her parents Melvin and Madeline (Giroux) and her sister Dale.
Elaine grew up in Copper Cliff, Ontario and her journey as a nurse and mother brought her adventures far and wide. As a lover of travel, nature, and adventure she enjoyed pastries in Paris, the sunshine in Hawaii, and fishing in Manitoba.
For over 25 years, Elaine was a dedicated nurse who shared her laughter and positivity with her patients and colleagues. Her sense of humour, creativity and zest for life will always be remembered and truly missed by her children, grandchildren, siblings, nieces and nephews, and her many friends.
A Celebration of Life will be held in Collingwood, Ontario at a date to be determined.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Elaine Marion Purcell May 2nd 2021..
