Earla Charlene Buell 1948-2016 After an extended stay at the Provincial Palliative Care Centre, where she received exceptional care, Earla passed away on Tuesday, May 31, 2016 at the age of 68 years. She will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by her family. Beloved daughter of the late Earl and Lilla (Kennedy) Buell; dear sister of Dorothy Hicks (Malcolm) and Blair (Marion); loving aunt to nieces Melva Buell (Jeff), Debi Buell (Claude), Veronica Hicks (Grant), Corlee Buell, Carolyn MacKinnon (Kevin) and Charlotte Velazco (José) and nephews Randy Hicks (Betty Ann) and Jeffrey Buell (Thelma). Also survived by several great-nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her sister-in-law Jane Buell, nephew Rodney Buell, brother Athol and niece Charlene Hicks. Earla was a free spirit who loved to socialize. Her zest and joy for life experiences were shared with family and her wide range of great friends. She had a special knack for planning and organizing events and get-togethers, large and small, for family members and friends. Her final great get-together was her “Hootenanny Unplugged” at the Palliative Care Centre. She had many artists among her friends who came to perform for her. She was so grateful for the complete support of staff in presenting this fun evening of music, food, and camaraderie for her friends, family, and other residents. Earla’s creative energy and talents were known to many through her work as a professional art framer, leather worker and designer. She operated her own shop, Picture It Yours, for many years where she did beautiful custom framing and leather work. She also sold a wide variety of beautiful artwork and wares, both her own and by other artists. She was generous with her expertise and had great plans for sharing her gifts of leather work, drawing, and painting with folks at Palliative Care. She was keen on travelling and experiencing new adventures. At age sixteen, she borrowed her Dad’s new car and took her fourteen year old niece on a trip to New York City. There, they visited the Empire State Building and many other well-known attractions in that city. She also spent several months traveling through Europe with her good friend Anne Shirley Sutherland, who she first met in university. They travelled from Italy to Spain and places in between, then on to England and Scotland. She travelled to all provinces in Canada as well as the Yukon. She then went on to tour the western United States and Mexico. Earla and Dorothy vacationed for two activity-filled weeks in Jamaica: river rafting, swimming, climbing Dunn River Falls. A few years later they travelled to Paradise Island and Nassau, Bahamas with their mother. Every day was filled to capacity and the highlight of their trip was swimming with the dolphins. She was a wonderful travel companion. Earla so enjoyed nature and spent many hours exploring the outdoors. She especially loved the beaches on PEI. Earla loved sports, whether as a participant or as a spectator. When she was a student at Summerside High, she was involved in various sports and was a very good field hockey player. She was a member of the Summerside Majorettes for several years. The group performed in the Summerside Lobster Carnival parade and at many other venues. The friendships formed lasted a lifetime. Her latest venture into sports came after her retirement when she joined the Pickleball players in Stratford. There she made many new and valued friends who were more than willing to share tips on playing the game. Earla had a very strong faith. As a child, she regularly attended church and Sunday school and, as a teenager, she was quite involved in CGIT. At the time of her death, she was an Elder at Park Royal United Church. In discussing the progress of her disease with her one day, she said that when the end came she was looking forward to being in Paradise. Earla was a wonderful daughter, sister, aunt, and friend and we will all dearly miss her joy of life and infectious laughter. Resting at Belvedere Funeral Home from where the memorial service will be held in the funeral home chapel on Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. No visitation by her request. Interment in Floral Hills Memorial Gardens. Memorial donations may be made to the Provincial Palliative Care Centre or Park Royal United Church. www.belvederefh.com
