Belva was predeceased by her parents, Charles Steeple in 1944 and Amy Steeple (née Cooper) in 1995.
Belva will be lovingly remembered and very much missed by her only brother Charles (Charlie) Steeple.
Charlie and Belva were the closest of friends and enjoyed many wonderful adventures travelling to both the East and West Coasts of Canada and through the beautiful provinces between them. They ventured to Churchill and Europe and have a large collection of photos capturing their memories.
Belva wrote thoughtful letters keeping friends and family up to date and many of their friends from abroad write them to this very day.
In her working years, Belva was employed by the Canadian National Railroad as was her father before her. Train-travel passes meant for countless memorable trips to visit family in BC.
Belva was adept at playing the piano and loved music immensely, which is evident by her collection of music books and albums. She kept a beautiful yard full of flowers and trees.
Belva’s extended family would sincerely like to thank Hillary Beatty, Bob MacKenzie and the staff at the Poseidon Care Home for the care Belva received in her final years.
A Memorial Service will be held on August 2 at 10:00 a.m. at Thomson “In the Park” Funeral Home, 1291 McGillivray Boulevard.
