23-Sep-1962 - 11-Feb-2025
It is with devastating sorrow that we announce the passing of Sandie Elder, after a short, hard-fought battle with cancer.
Sandie was the loving wife of Russ Bellman, mother to Chad (Mhairi), Jake and Carly (Connor), step mom to Emily and Jeff and newly excited grandmother to Oliver.
Sandie is pre-deceased by her parents Doug and Beth Case of Aurora and was a loving sister to Sherry (Perry Zade), Susan (Bryan Keizerwaard), Stacey (Terry McMillan), and Shannon (Ed Madeley)
Sandie's compassion for other people was extraordinary. She was a long-time counsellor at Yellow Brick House and prior to that a crisis counsellor at Victim Services of York Region.
Her love of gardening, travelling and the dedication to her pets (especially Indie and Ramsay) showed the consuming love she had for everyone around her. She truly loved life and was always amazed at and proud of the accomplishments of others. She brought joy to all who knew her and her impact on her family and friends will never be forgotten.
Sandie leaves behind a legacy of love, strength and compassion. She will be deeply missed by all the family and friends whose lives she has touched.
Love you always and forever!
