In Celebration of

Elaine "Tiny" Bell


It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our beloved Tiny (Elaine) Bell who passed peacefully at home with her family by her side on March 29, 2025.

She was a wonderful, caring woman always there for everyone. A kind loving woman who was adored by all and would do anything for you.

Tiny will be greatly missed by her loving husband Robert of 67 years, her daughters Sheri (Brad) McMurray, Traci (Garry) Kerfont, granddaughters Lynn (Greg) Featherstone, Nicole (Chris) Hammill and Michelle (Kirby) Wilson; she adored her great grandchildren, James, Mackenzie, Tobin, Audrey and Sophie and one little one yet to be born who she already loved. She adored her son in laws as if they were her own children. She will also be missed greatly by her furry grand-dog Cassie and I’m sure all the grand dogs that have passed previously are there to meet her with wagging tails. Mom always had something special for each and every one in her family and made sure you went home with a package loaded with your favourite treat or treasure. And of course, for the grand dogs a pocket full of cookies.

She will also be greatly missed by her sister Marlene Arnold, on their daily shopping tours and always sharing laughs. Her sister Berne Skene and their many chats and meeting up at Metro for a sister date. She was adored also by her loving nephew Stephen Arnold who shared many holidays, and vacations and fun times over the years.

From a large family of 12 she will be greatly missed by her brothers and sisters, her loving sister’s Marlene Arnold (Arthur) and Berne Skene (Dave). Her brothers David (predeceased Susie); Skip (Joanne), Gary (Jane), Stephen (Susan), She was adored by all her nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her loving parents Holmes and Dorothy Hutchison and her loving brothers and sisters Diane; Heather; Carmlee (Bill); Robert; Stanley (Lynn). Also predeceased by her in-laws Charles and Betty Bell and brother-in-law Don Bell and wife Barb; Helen (Bert); and Phyllis.

Special thank you to Dr. Krishnan and his wonderful office support team Saudia, Carol and Sally. Also thank you to the Dorothy Ley Hospice team and Ontario Health at home team for their care and comfort they brought to our mom and our family.

She was loved by all, this wonderful lady will be forever in the hearts of many and always in our thoughts and prayers. We will miss you greatly and love you always.

I believe we only met once in person. My Dad, Gerald Walsh adored Tiny.

Dear Bob, Traci, Sheri, our Hutchison Cousins, and Families,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
With Tiny's passing, the world has lost a truly good person, the Hutchison family has lost a beloved member, and the Walsh clan has lost a kindred spirit.
We treasure our memories of Tiny, and especially those from important Walsh-clan events where she was always present.
We feel very fortunate to have had Tiny as part of our life.
May you rest in peace, Tiny.
Carol Ann and Bryan
