It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Sylvia Bell on Thursday, December 21st 2017. Sylvia is predeceased by her dear friend Page Hope-Smith and survived by her sister Diana, brothers Graeme and Bill and by many much-loved friends, nieces, nephews, and extended family both here in Canada and in New Zealand. Sylvia will be dearly remembered for her quick mind and wide-ranging interests, her kindness, sense of humour, gentle demeanour, and the generous hospitality with which she and Page shared their home with visitors and friends from around the world. A celebration of life will be held in her honour at Kerrisdale Community Centre on Wednesday, March 7, 2018 from 1-2:30pm.
