Beverlee Anne Bell
was born on August 23, 1950 in Montreal to proud parents
Jean Watson and Clifford Bell.
Beverlee moved to Ottawa
in 1983 and became very active in the peace movement
and worked for the Peace Petition Caravan. Eventually,
she became involved in the NDP.
During her time with
the NDP, Beverlee worked for Cid Samson, Michael Cassidy
and Evelyn Gigantes. She worked at NDP headquarters
as Tour Coordinator for Alexa McDonough and then became
Director of Administration for the NDP Caucus. Beverlee
had worked on many campaigns across the country, making
an impression on everyone she worked with and forging
lasting friendships. Beverlee loved a campaign.
Through her life, Beverlee
approached things with incredible optimism, tenacity
and spirit.
We are all richer
for knowing her.
