The death of Sylvia Evelyn (Bell) McAllister RN occurred in her home in Bryenton, NB on Sunday June 14, 2015, while surrounded by her family. Born in Derby, she was the daughter of the late Mary (Tozer) and Russell Bell.
She had recently celebrated 50 years of marriage to Paul and is survived by their three daughters: Paula Fraser (David), Krista McAllister (Darren Marshall) and Karla Pleadwell (Dean) and siblings Marie Jardine (the late Sydney) and Alvin Bell (Donna).
She was a grandmother extraordinaire to Jenna Power (Cory), Jared, Carrie and Hannah Fraser, and Dylan and Cameron Marshall. She was blessed to meet her new and only great grandchild Ryah Power. She is also survived by several nieces and nephews and many others who were made to feel as family.
Sylvia was a registered nurse for 42 years and spent a great deal of her career at the Miramichi Senior Citizens Home. Her baked goods, especially apple pies, were renown throughout the community. She enjoyed spending time with her dear friends, playing cards, dining out, gardening, knitting and making sure those around her were cared for and nurtured to the best of her ability.
