Bruce Rathwell, in his 80th year passed away on March 7, 2025, surrounded by his family. Born in Clinton, Ontario, raised and worked on the family farm outside of Brucefield, later married the love of his life Dawn Robinson. Together raising three children Kim (Bill) Preszcator, Kent (Joni) Rathwell, and Kelli (Brian) Scott. Later enjoying five grandchildren Colton, Quaid (Toria), Colby (Rob), Kaidin, and Xander. Dearly missed brother of Gerald Rathwell, Jean (Bruce) Horton, Bill (Sandra) Rathwell, Pat (Bill) Chipchase, and Don (Deb) Rathwell. Fondly remember by his many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents D’Arcy and Madeleine Rathwell, his sister Barbara and sister-in-law Jean Rathwell.
Bruce was a visionary, entrepreneur and had a positive “get it done and do it right” energy. Starting his
career as a farmer, proud to become an auctioneer, partnered in opening the White Carnation Banquet
Hall and then onto promoting and selling farms across Ontario. He worked hard, loved cooking, entertaining, traveling and landscaping (with a lot of flowers)! He could always make good in any situation and was big-hearted. Through continued acts of kindness and generosity (along with his endless wit), he has made an impact on so many lives and is forever remembered for it.
Keeping with Bruce’s wishes cremation has taken place and a “come and go” celebration of life will be held at the White Carnation Banquet Hall in Holmesville on Saturday, April 5 from 1:00pm to 4:00pm, with words of remembrance at 3:00pm.
