It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Stella B. Bushell (nee: Manners, Fuson). Stella was born April 6th, 1931 and passed away peacefully on January 3rd 2020 at the age of 88. Stella is predeceased by her husband – Glen and their son Brett, as well as, her brothers Grant and Ernie and sister Evelyn.  Stella is survived by her children (David, Deanna, Darrell (Anna), Darcel (Harold), Diana (Rob) and Christine). Her grandchildren (Trevor (Stacie), Stefania (James), Nadia (Matt), Jeremy, Keoni, Matthew, Christopher and Sydney) and her great-grandchildren (Aiden, Jaxon and Tobin). Stella lived most of her adult life in New Westminster, where she and her husband Glen worked and raised their children. Stella enjoyed reminiscing fondly about her days working as a nurse and as a telephone operator for BC Tel, and finally as a member of the cafeteria staff at New Westminster Secondary School. (We all appreciated the heads up when the fresh made donuts were ready. Thank you, Mom!). We are most proud of her number one role and the thing she did the best, keeping our dad in line and raising all of us. (This would include the multitude of our friends that needed a place to come to feel cared for and loved). We know from her fond words that she loved and cared for each and every one of you as if you were her own. Our Family would also like to extend our thanks to the caregivers at Laurel Place in Surrey for all the care and help to look after our Mom for the past 6 years. We would like to welcome all friends and family to join us for a celebration of Stella’s life being held at the Kearney Columbia-Bowell Chapel (219 6th St., New Westminster) on Friday January 31st at 1:00 pm and to say goodbye to a sweet and special soul.
