She was an active member of the community and spent many years as a member of the Women's Benefit Association.
In her younger years, she was quite the softball player and later on, came to enjoy bowling and playing bingo.
Extraordinarily talented at knitting and crocheting, she donated many, many beautiful pieces to the Chemainus Hospital Auxiliary.
She loved animals and raised many dogs, cats, and budgies.
A loving and strong-willed person who cared deeply for her family, Belle was indeed the family matriarch, and as her family can attest, "nobody argued with Gramma".

Barrett, William James

Bill showed the whites of his eyes at that big fishing hole in the sky on Good Friday, April 10, 2009.
He is survived by his wife of 31 years, Beverly, and his five children, Patrick, Colleen, Kathleen, Kellie and Jacqueline, as well as the mother of his children, Barbara.
Poppa Bill is also survived by eight grandchildren, Cory, Benjamin, Tyler, Kerri, Jodi, Caitlyn, Cale and Chelsea.
Six great-grandchildren will remember Poppa Bill also - Elizabeth, Kyra, Kody, Kennedy, Jordin and Alexander.
Bill worked as an electrician at Chemainus Sawmill for many years and, when he wasn't working, he loved to fish in the saltchuck.
He was always ready to help out a friend and never stayed in one place for very long.
Camping trips with the family or ferry trips to the mainland heard "Where's Dad?" the entire time.
Bill would be off meeting friends, new and old. Where's Dad? He's off meeting new and old friends once again.
No service will be held, but you are encouraged to pick up a hitchhiker or chat with a stranger in his memory.
