Obituary for Bella Treble

Bella Ann Treble (nee Silzer) of Watrous, Saskatchewan died after a brief illness on July 22, 2022, at the age of 67.

Bella was born in Assiniboia, Saskatchewan on November 12, 1954, to Lorraine (nee Heatcoat) and Paul Silzer. Bella spent most of her childhood and youth on the farm south-east of Assiniboia. It is here that she developed a love for all animals, but especially for horses and her dogs. After completing high school, Bella attended post-secondary education in Regina and obtained a certificate in bookkeeping. She returned home to Assiniboia and worked at the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool as a secretary. She used her first paycheque to buy her first car; a Monte Carlo.

In 1975, Murray Treble rolled into town in his Charger. His muscle car and golden curly mane made Bella weak in the knees. She fell into the passenger seat and Murray drove off into the sunset. Bella and Murray got married on June 3, 1977. Shortly after their wedding, Bella and Murray moved to the farm north of Watrous where Murray grew up. It is here that they farmed and raised a family.

Family was Bella’s priority and in 1979, Bella and Murray started their own family. Darcy was born August 21, 1979, and Mark and Ryan were born soon after on February 2, 1981. Bella excelled at home making. She grew a large garden, cooked and baked up a storm, grew beautiful flowers, and was Murray’s partner on the farm. Her baking specialties were angel food cake and buns. She loved to host family for holidays and would cook up huge meals for everyone to enjoy. Her thoughtful gestures and kind heart were abundant to those around her. Bella was always there when her family needed her, often dropping everything to take care of someone else.

Bella worked as a bookkeeper for most of her working years. She also worked with Murray on the family farm and drove the school bus for many years while the boys were growing up. Bella and Murray enjoyed traveling together, spending time with friends, and since 2009, spending time with their grandchildren.

Bella is predeceased by her father Paul Silzer, father-in-law Elmer Treble, mother-in-law Muriel Treble, and brother-in-law Bill Wilson.

Bella is survived by her loving husband Murray Treble, three sons: Darcy (Shaunna Farago), Mark (Sherisse), and Ryan (Allison), and grandchildren Sam, Jack, Max, Ava, and Bryce. Bella is also survived by her mother, Lorraine Silzer, brother Rick (Tracy) Silzer, sister Darlene Wilson, sister-in-law Dorothy (Gregg) Hook, sister-in-law Sandra (Garland) Wyeth, and numerous nieces and nephews.
