In Loving Memory
Cecile T. Elwell, 85, passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones on July 31, 2022 at Arbor Terrace ALF in Tampa, FL. She was born March 1, 1937 in Salem, MA to Joseph E. and Regine (Gagnon) Brunelle. She was the wife of the late Norman A. Elwell, Jr.
Born in Salem, MA, Cecile was a graduate of St. Joseph's High School and while raising 6 children attended night school at North Shore Community College. She was employed by Massachusetts Division of Employment and Training where she retired after 27 years of service. Her love of family was boundless. She loved gardening, painting, knitting, crafts, travel, the North Shore Music Theater and a summer could not go by without indulging in Salem Willows popcorn and taffy. Her favorite saying was, "Don't worry, I will find a way!".
Cecile loved her family more than anything. She is survived by 5 of her 6 children, Laurie Drake, Kenneth Elwell and wife Tami, Bruce Elwell, Janeen Goodwin, Karen Barry and husband, Thomas. She leaves 10 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren, brother, Francis Brunelle and his wife, Vasha. Cecile is predeceased by her son, Thomas Elwell and sister, Elizabeth McDougall.
