Margaret Elizabeth Trafford, was born in Barrie on December 15, 1951 to Florence (née Cherry) and Walter Bell, and raised in Milton. After a brief battle with lung cancer, Marg passed away on Sunday, December 8, 2024 in the care and comfort of her short time at Pine Villa Nursing Home, where she received amazing care in her final days.
Marg was predeceased by her beloved daughter, Kerri Lynn (Kyre), who now welcomes her with open arms into the loving embrace of heavenly eternity. Survived by her siblings Bob Bell (late Audrey), Wayne Bell, and Helen Weir, as well as nieces and nephews: Brian Bell, Cheryl Bell (Tim), Michael Weir (Tammy), and Jen Laurin (Michael), along with many great-nieces and nephews.
Educated at JM Denyes, Milton District High School, followed by Emmanuel Bible College in Kitchener, and graduated from Humber College for Physiotherapy Assistant Program in 1994. This knowledge led to a career of providing long-term at-home palliative care for many. She moved herself and Kyre to the Thornbury area in Blue Mountains, and they thoroughly loved the area. Now at peace, Marg is in the loving arms of Jesus, whom she cherished deeply.
