It is with great sadness that the family of Cindy Bissett-Elphick announce her passing on October 19, 2024 at the age of 61. She left this world surrounded by family at Jessica’s House Hospice after a courageous and hard fought battle with cancer. Cindy is survived by her loving Husband Brian Elphick. The loving Mom of Natasha (Gordon) and Rob (Jen). She’s the doting Nana/Grandma to “her greatest blessings” Jade, Peyton, Landyn, Lauren, Lyla, Ezra, Charlie-John and Avis (coming Feb.2025). Sister of Jim Bissett and Crystal Snelgrove. Predeceased by her parents John and Mary Bissett, brother Jeff Bissett and sister in law Donna Bissett. Cindy is the daughter in law of Ken and Joyce Elphick. Sister in law to Annette (Leroy), Kendra (Roger) and Charlene (Ronnie). She will be missed by her furry best friends Minnie and Hudson. Cindy will be missed as an Aunt, Niece, Cousin and friend to many.
Cindy lived her life to the fullest and surrounded herself with people who she loved dearly. If she knew someone was struggling she was the first to lend a hand, offer a hug or give her best mom advice. It is without a doubt that when she met Brian she had finally found her soul mate and they shared a love and bond most people dream of. She took the title of “a farmer’s wife” very seriously and loved every second of it. Her kids and grand kids were the light of her life and the foundation of the reason she fought so hard to win the battles she faced.
We all lost a remarkable woman and heaven gained the strongest and most beautiful angel. Her legacy will live on through Brian, her children and grandchildren as she taught each of us the true meaning of love and determination and to fight for what we believe in!! “We’ve got this Momma Bear!!”
Funeral arrangements entrusted with McCallum and Palla funeral home. Visitation Tuesday October 22, 2024 from 6-8pm. Visitation Wednesday October 23,2024 10-11am and funeral to follow at 11am. Interment Maitland Cemetery. Donations to Jessica’s House Hospice greatly appreciated in honour of Cindy.

Cindy was the best. MANY years ago Cindy babysat my young boys, teaching them, playing with them. I always felt safe that the boys were having a great day when I was at work, in Cindy’s care.

I am so sorry to hear about Cindy’s passing. I worked with Cindy at Maitland Manor. If there is one thing that stands out most in my mind about Cindy it would be how proud and how much she loved her kids. A shift with Cindy would not be complete without a full update on Rob’s and Tasha’s life, that she would tell with such pride in her smile.
Rest in peace Cindy. You will be missed.

Peter Blake
We are so sad to hear of Cindy’s passing. She was a special person.
Prior to her tragic illness, Cindy was a wonderful and dedicated caregiver for Rose’s elderly father, Ralph Meyer, in the final years of his life. Her visits to provide care were a joy to Ralph, not only due to her kindness and professionalism, but also because they were filled with humorous exchanges between the two of them. One of Ralph’s last outings was when Cindy invited him to visit Brian’s farm and see his combine and tractors and, of course, to admire Cindy’s field of sunflowers. It was a day Ralph enjoyed so much and one we will not forget.
Our commiserations to Brian and all of the family,
Rose and Peter Blake

From the days of hanging out with Rob, and taking the long way home just to pass by Cindy while she volunteered as a crossing guard just to share a laugh, Cindy was truly one of a kind and such a loving and funny person. She had such a heart of gold and she passed that on to her children. Sending my love to all of her family and friends.
Darlene Wilson
So sorry for your loss my heart goes out to the family of Cindy

Erik Rozenski
Like her obituary says, she was a friend to many and had great mom advice. I met Cindy through my best friend, her daughter Tash. Immediately she treated me like one of her own and I felt the light and warmth from her heart. It was an honour and a privilege to call Cindy my friend. She even loved our nickname some of Tash’s friends called her; Mama Cin or Mama Cindy. Again because she treated us all like her own. My heart breaks for the entire family and my best friend Tash. The world got a little darker that day as Mama Cins light flew up to the heavens. Gonna love n miss you soooo much!
Vanessa Laye
I didn’t know Cindy personally, but could tell that she was a kind and caring person from the many pictures I was able to witness on Facebook with her beautiful daughter and grand daughters. I am sad that I didn’t get to know her, but I do know that a piece of her lives on, here on Earth through Natasha, Lauren and Lyla. Sending my deepest condolences to everyone she touched.
Jennifer Richardson
