SARAH E. "TIB" BELL
It is with sadness that the family announces the passing of Sarah (Tib) on Wednesday, January 11, 2005 at Providence Place. Sarah (Tib, as she was known to many) was born on the family farm near Bateman, Sask., on May 31, 1924, to John and Eliza Bell. She was the second oldest in a family of four, having one brother, Allan and two sisters, Margaret and Amy. Sarah never married and thoroughly loved her career as a teacher. She began her 35-year teaching career at McCord, and from there went on to teach in Avonlea, Edenwold, Regina and Moose Jaw, retiring from Alexander School in Moose Jaw in 1978. Sarah was a long time member of the Church of Christ, a wonderful Sunday school teacher for many, many years. Tib enjoyed reading, knitting, nature, walking, looking after her yard--especially her dahlias, which she shared with many friends. What she enjoyed the most though, was times spent with family and friends, and especially family get-togethers at the Fowler farm. After a bout with cancer in 1957, Sarah moved from Regina to Moose Jaw to live with her parents. After recovering from her cancer, she began teaching in Moose Jaw. As her parents aged, she became their care-giver, looking after both of them in her home until their passing. Tib is survived by her siblings, Allan Bell - Moose Jaw, Margaret (John) Forman - Chilliwack, BC and Amy Fowler - Moose Jaw. Also her nieces and nephews: Allan and Edna Bell’s children: John Bell, James Bell, Ruth Bell, David (Cheryl) Bell, Sarah Bell, Brenda Bell, Fred Perry; John and Margaret Forman’s children: Velma Forman, Alice (Lindsay) Peterson, Joan (Steward) Gould, Shirley (Steve) Clarkson, Debbie (Jerry) Roy, Jack (Barb) Forman, Maureen (Lanny) Matkin; and George and Amy Fowler’s children: Kathy (Lew) Young, Linda (Dan) Goud, and George (Terri-Lynn) Fowler. Sarah was predeceased by her parents, John (1969) and Eliza (1982) Bell, her brother-in-law, George Fowler, sister-in-law, Edna Bell; niece Elizabeth (Bell) Perry and nephew Sam Bell. Sarah was a lady of great integrity and honesty. While her family will miss her terribly, we know that she has fulfilled her journey and is now at peace—whole mentally and physically. For that we rejoice! The Funeral Service will be held at W. J. Jones & Son Chapel on Saturday, January 14, 2005 at 1:30 p.m. Darin Ashby of the Church of Christ will officiate. Interment will follow at Rosedale Cemetery. Visitation for family and friends will be on Saturday morning from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00. Memorials to the Canadian Cancer Society 61B Ross St. W., Moose Jaw, S6H 2M2 or to the Alzhiemer Association, #301 2550 12th Ave., Regina, S4P 3X1, would be appreciated.
