Elsie Puffal
Obituary
PUFFAL, Elsie Jessie Rose-Marie (nee Tuxford)…
Elsie passed peacefully in her sleep on Sunday, March 8, 2026 in her 84th year.
Cherished mother of Mark MacDonald, Shelley Featherstone (Nick Perkins) and Joanna MacDonald (Ian Robertson). Beloved Grandmother of Justin Phillips, Dylan Joyes MacDonald, Bronwyn Featherstone, Annabelle MacDonald and Spencer MacDonald. Dearest sister of Lynda Larocque, Jackie Long (Rick Rodgers) and Peggy Moore (Mike). Dear sister-in-law of Jeannie Tuxford. Elsie will also be missed greatly by her many nieces, nephews and extended family. She held many fond memories of her east coast family. As well as her many friends from Oriole Park, where Elsie resided for 49 years.
Elsie wore many hats. From her years at Sculpturethane and her time as administrator for General Dynamics parts warehouse. Having the opportunity to drive and fire a real tank for work. She had a deep love for Canada, and cheered our teams through every Olympic game. But above all the Blue Jays were the highlight of her year.
Elsie was a ” firecracker “, with a wonderful smile and a sincere and caring personality. She chose to go to the beat of her own drum. As a talented artist, she explored ceramics, stained glass and painting throughout her life. She had an active social calendar. From lunches out, concerts, bingo and playing cards.
Elsie was a gem and a friend to all. She will be greatly missed. Her strength and resilience to adversity was remarkable and admirable. Her laughter, beauty and lightheartedness will endure in the hearts of all that knew her.
To know her was to love her.
Cremation has taken place and a celebration of Elsie’s life will be held at Oriole Park Resort Komoka, 22790 Amiens Road, Komoka on Sunday, August 2, 2026.
For those who wish to honour Elsie through a donation, the family asks that you please consider the Canadian Cancer Society.
