In Loving Memory of Elaine Marguerite Bruce (nee Jackson) (October 10, 1939 - February 16, 2025).
Elaine Marguerite Bruce (nee Jackson) passed away peacefully at Mariposa House Hospice in her 86th year with her beloved daughter, Heather, by her side.
Born in Toronto on October 10, 1939, Elaine was the youngest child of George and Myrtle Jackson. She is now reunited with her dear siblings, Douglas (Lucille) and Carolyn (George), as well as her late partners, Arvyd Buntins, Donald Bruce, and Ron Harrigan.
Elaine was a devoted and loving mother to her only child, Heather (Peter Vandinten). She found immense joy in her granddaughter, Madison (Johnathan Ricci), and her great-grandson, Rowan Ricci-Vandinten, who held a special place in her heart.
Since 1952, she was an unwavering presence on Raven Lake, where she became an original Raven Laker. Known as Lady Raven, she spent countless cherished moments at her favorite spot on Jackson’s Bay, where the lake held not just her heart, but the hearts of all who knew her.
She lovingly took on the role of Grandma Laine to all of our extended family. Her kindness, wisdom, and genuine love touched everyone she met, leaving an indelible mark on their lives.
Her absence is felt deeply, and words can hardly express the extent to which she will be missed.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks for donations to Mariposa House Hospice in honour of the care and compassion during her journey on earth.
Arrangements entrusted to Simcoe Cremation Service, 54 Coldwater St. E., Orillia (705)828-4669.
