BELLA ANTEL On Monday, May 5, 2014 our beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Bella Antel, passed away. Remaining to forever cherish Bella's memory is her husband Oscar, sons; Jack (Avis) and Joel (Bonnie), grandchildren; Samson (Daisy), Dori (Rocko), Eli (Leslie), Dana, Elly, Zack (Shayla), Darryl and Becky, great-grandchildren; Ryan, Adam and Aylie, her brother Sam Roitman, sister-in-law, Shirley Gutkin along with many nieces, nephews cousins and friends. Bella was predeceased by her beloved daughter Shelley as well as her siblings Chuck (Fay) and Simmie (Abe). Born in 1923 in Russia, Bella came to Canada at the age of three. She attended school at I.L. Peretz School and St. John's High School. Bella married Oscar in 1943 and after his return from service overseas, she lovingly joined her husband to raise a family while he completed his university degree and built a career as a chartered accountant. Bella herself was an accomplished pianist as well as kindergarten teacher. Bella had many friends and was very active in the community. She particularly enjoyed being involved in the lives of her children and grandchildren. They too loved and enjoyed being with her at many family occasions, holidays, dinners, school affairs, graduations, visits and much more. Unfortunately, Alzheimer's disease robbed Bella of being able to fully enjoy the last almost 10 years of her life. Even during these times, she felt the warmth and love of her family. The family would like to send a special thank you to all the health care workers who were there for her with love and care.
