BELL, Evelynne “Evie” Marie (was Rogers, nee Dean)
August 20, 1939 – February 3, 2022
Passed away peacefully on February 3, 2022 at Lakeridge Oshawa at the age of 82 years, due to end-stage Dementia.
Daughter of Marie and Jack Dean. Husband of 17 years Bob Bell, his daughter Lindsay (Gary) and his son Kyle (Laura).
Evie was the devoted mother of Cheryl Rogers, Chad Rogers (Heather) and the late Lloyd Jones Jr. (Debbie). Cherished Gramma “Granny Goose” of Tanya, Aaron, Eric, Kelly, Bailey, Delanie, Austin, Alexandria and Keegan.
Beloved sister of Marguerite “Margie” Klyne (Ray), and Donna Bergeron (Wayne).
Predeceased by her brothers John, George (Gracie), David and her sister Debbie.
Lovingly remembered by many nieces and nephews, including Vicki (Ron), Billy, Jamie (Cindy) and Lori (Bruce) and many good friends, including Carol Fukusaka. Evie was born in Toronto and grew up in Cabbage Town.
“Mrs. Rogers” will be fondly remembered by the staff and students at Dundas Public School where she worked as an Educational Assistant for 25 years, especially dear friend Cathie Salter.
Evie will also be remembered by the members of the Scarborough Bowling League.
She moved to the Durham Region after retirement. Evie was a caring soul who was very generous with her time and helping others. Evie was also fun-loving, enjoyed socializing, playing cards, and dressing-up at Halloween.
She was a great cook and known for her potato salad and pumpkin cheesecake.
Her grandchildren will remember her handouts of ‘bigfoot’ gummy candies.
Evie liked plants, to garden, and all kinds of food.
She also enjoyed music, with Charley Pride a favourite.
Evie was able to see him perform a few times and even got to meet Charley at the Horseshoe Tavern after a performance at the CNE.
Cremation has taken place and a celebration of Evie’s life will be held at a later date.
Perhaps consider a memorial donation to the Dementia or Alzheimer society or Lakeridge Oshawa, as an expression of sympathy. Many thanks to the staff at Lakeridge Oshawa and Livita Centennial for their care and concern.
There are some who bring a light so great to the world, that even after they have gone... the light remains.
