It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Amy Michelle Bell on November 21, 2025. Amy was born in Victoria on August 19, 1989, and spent her life at home with her parents. Amy was predeceased by her Nana (Wilma Taylor) in 2023. She leaves behind her parents (Kevin and Lori Bell), her beloved sister Alison (Patrick McBride), niece Rowan Amy McBride, her grandparents (Doug and Joan Bell) and many Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins that she loved dearly.
Amy was known for her infectious smile, hugs, sense of humour, innocence, and unconditional love for everyone she met. Amy attended Hampton, Lake Hill, Arbutus, and Reynolds schools, where she made friends easily and deep connections with her Education Assistants. Amy had a spark that drew people to her, and she taught simple Sign language to everyone she met. As an adult, Amy attended Good Neighbours Day Program and Music classes through Lifetime Networks. She loved to sing, dance, go on outings in her community and shop at Thrifty Foods. More than anything, Amy loved her family, friends, assistance, and caregivers.
A Celebration of Amy’s Life will be held on Friday May 1st, 2026, in the Sequoia Centre at McCall Gardens, 4665 Falaise Drive at 10:00 a.m. For anyone wishing to attend via zoom, please email Keith at keithbellpda@gmail.com to recieve the link.
Amy will be laid to rest at Hatley Memorial Gardens.

Dear Kevin, Lori and Alison:
What a beautiful sendoff for Amy today. You captured her spirit and love of life so well – the video of Amy and your family was very touching and a perfect way to remember her. It was also very nice to see her caregivers and school friends in attendance. I know her spirit will live on with you forever. God bless her.”Somewhere over the rainbow” indeed.
Lori, Kevin and family,
We are saddened to hear of Amy’s passing. Please accept our deepest sympathy. Although we only met Amy a few times over the years we knew that she was absolutely delightful. May your happy memories and the love of your family and friends help you through this difficult time. You are very much in our thoughts.
Dear Amy, she lit up everyone wherever she went. I had the pleasure of knowing Amy through my work as an EA. A joyful lovely girl. I send my love and condolences to her family, friends and all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
Our family was so saddened to learn that wonderful Amy has passed. The world has been so much more sparkly with her in it … how fortunate we all were to be in her presence. We send our sincere condolences to you.
Amy’s presence and joy for life will be missed.
It was a pleasure and privilege to have been part of Amy’s education journey at Arbutus Middle School. She always had a smile and quite adapt at communicating with sign language. Her life’s footprint has touched many hearts.
