Eileen Bell
1919-2020
Eileen
Marion Bell (Ingraham, Lounsbury, Nee MacCallum), 100, of Lakeview
Manor, Riverview, passed from this life, into her heavenly home, on
Wednesday, March 18, 2020. Born in Nixon Settlement, she is one of six
children of the late Neil and Beatrice (Haley) MacCallum, and the last
surviving member of her immediate family.
Eileen married Rev. Charles Sydney
Ingraham in 1938 and had two sons, Neil Albert (Beverley) of
Massachusetts, USA and Darien Austin (Agnes) of Salisbury, NB. Charles
was Principal at Elgin Superior High School at the time of his death
in 1941.
In 1944 she married Rev. Andrew
Lounsbury and had two daughters, Marie Alice (died in infancy), and
Susan Grace Lounsbury of Hastings, ON. Together they pastored churches
in Amherst, Parrsboro, Western Shore and Mahone Bay, NS and Killams
Mills, Timber River, Boom Road, NB, Taunton, Mass. and Murray River,
PE. He died in 1983.
Eileen married Rev. Joseph L. Bell of
Caribou, ME in 1989. Until his death in 2006, they spent winters in
Florida and summers in Mill Cove, NB and during this time, they
enjoyed visiting the elderly (some younger than them!), singing in
nursing homes and encouraging whenever the opportunities
arose.
Personally, Eileen enjoyed public
speaking, music, knitting, crocheting, embroidery, cooking, sewing,
painting, and made various styles of pine needle baskets. She
continued to enjoy correspondence with her many friends and family,
enclosing inspirational articles by mail, and then took up e-mail as a
method of keeping in touch.
Eileen held credentials with The
Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada from 1945 and continued on in active
church ministry as long as she was able. She continued faithful in
daily prayer and bible reading. In her last years she attended Glad
Tidings Church and continued to « take notes » as the
pastor’s message was delivered.
In addition to her three children,
Eileen leaves to mourn her grandchildren, Kent Ingraham, Krista
Ingraham-Côté (Alain), and Kirk Ingraham (Karen);
great-grandchildren, Rick, Jeffrey, Andrea, Tanner, Nathan Ingraham,
Geneviève, Madeleine, Véronique, and Gabrielle
Côté; great-great-granddaughter, Olivia Ingraham;
many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
Besides her parents, her first, second
and third husband, her infant daughter; and her five siblings, Howard,
Donald, Austin, Eldon and Vera, Eileen was also predeceased by her
grandson Brett Ingraham.
Thank you to the staff and
administration of Salvation Army Lakeview Manor for her wonderful
care.

will be announced at a later date, with interment at Five Points
Cemetery, Upper Coverdale, NB. Arrangements in care of Salisbury
