Norman Schell Obituary
Schell, Norman William
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Norman Schell on Saturday, January 4, 2025, at the age of 87.
Norman is now reunited with his beloved wife, Karen. He was a cherished father to Wendy Rivet, and a proud grandfather to Jesse Rivet. Norman will be deeply missed by his dear sister Dorothy Reiner, and by many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. Predeceased by his parents Jerome Schell and Rita (Rellinger) Carson, siblings: Kathleen Howey, Doreen Eckert, Millie Runstedler, Karen Schell, and Richard “Rocky” Schell.
One of Norman’s fond memories was getting together with his sisters and family to make their famous “piggies”. He also loved baking, especially making Jesse’s birthday cake each year, his delicious double chocolate layer cake – Yum! Norman often said, “I still have my suit that I was married in, and I will also be buried in it”. In honour of this, Norman was cremated in that same suit.
We would like to thank the many organizations that supported Norman during his final journey, including Dr. Kelly Emerson – Palliative Care Management at RVH, the doctors at the Family Medical Teaching Unit at RVH, the Cancer Centre at RVH, Saint Elizabeth Health Care and the nurses who cared for him, especially Eric, Ontario Health at Home and Hospice Simcoe.
A memorial service will take place at 1 p.m. on Saturday, May 3, 2025 at the Dreisinger Funeral Home, 62 Arthur St. S., Elmira with a time of refreshments and fellowship to follow. Interment will take place at a later date in Elmira Union Cemetery.
