BOSNELL, Elsie Pearl

Elsie Pearl (nee Trichuk) (Marshall) Bosnell died October 4, 2025 at Lady Minto Hospital.

She was born in Ontario at Niagara Falls General Hospital on August 3, 1945. Elsie was thrilled to reach her 80th birthday a few months ago.

Elsie was a dietitian by training. She worked at Surrey Memorial Hospital and Greenwoods. She loved singing, playing the piano and guitar.

When illness forced her to be sedentary, she turned to writing and illustrating her “Gorsey the Horsey” children’s books.

Elsie is predeceased by her first husband Dennis Marshall, survived by her current husband Pierre Bosnell, her son Brett Marshall, his wife Joanna, granddaughters Natasha and Skyla, twin sons Joshua and Jonah Marshall, her sister Lydia Nimchuk and husband Dennis, her nephew Tom Nimchuk and family, Zahra and Aliya, her nephew Jerry Nimchuk and family, Sierra and Royce.

The Celebration of Life will be held at her beloved Legion at 2 pm, Saturday, October 18, 2025.

  1. I am truly sorry to have just been made aware of Elsie’s decision to split this world. She was loved and she knew how to love. We had lots of laughs and good times many years ago. So sorry for your loss. She was well loved.
    Gloria O’Hara
