Reta Mae Bell

It is with sadness we announce the passing of Reta Mae Bell on August 24, 2024

Reta Mae loved Bracebridge where she was born and lived most of her life.  She lived in the family home she grew up in.  She seemed to know everyone in town!

many happy summer weeks were spent at Pioneer Camp in Port Sydney.  She became a registered nurse at Hamilton General Hospital, working at Bracebridge Hospital and others.  She taught Nursing at Georgian College in Orillia.

Reta Mae found her other calling when she became a Christ follower.  Reta Mae led many Bible studies and gave her time to organizations such as Nurses Christian Fellowship, sharing her joy and security in God.  She loved Muskoka, canoeing and her cottage in Port Carling.

Reta Mae will be sadly missed by Bert, her brother, Janet his wife, and Sean her nephew.

Love you, Reta Mae.

A memorial service will be held at the Salvation Army Church in Bracebridge at 1 pm, September 9 2024, with a short reception to follow.
