Ms. Anne Bell

Anne Bell, age 88 years, passed away

peacefully at her home in West Vancouver on

November 10, 2017. She was predeceased by

her husband, John. Anne is survived by

several nieces, nephews, great-nieces and

nephews, all living in England. Until recently,

when travel became more difficult, she

visited them regularly. She enjoyed traveling

and relished visits with her family. Anne was a

very interesting woman. She became an

electrical engineer at a time when it was not a

profession usually taken up by women. When

she attended university in England she was

one of very few women in her class. She

worked as an engineer for many years in

Canada, knew her stuff and always gave

repairmen a run for their money. Anne was an

accomplished seamstress, making her own

patterns for her wardrobe with fabrics

collected on her travels. She enjoyed working

in her garden, taking ceramic lessons,

reading and entertaining her friends. She

loved her wickedly strong coffee during the

day and a glass of smooth red wine to round

out her evening. Anne Bell was intelligent and

smart. Fiercely independent, stubborn,

indomitable, loyal and steadfast. Simply, a

good person. She will be missed. Friends are

invited to gather on December 14, 2017 at

3:00 p.m. at the Hollyburn Funeral Home,

1807 - Marine Drive, West Vancouver to share

memories and stories.
