ELIZABETH A. BELL
Elizabeth Aycock Bell died at her home in Franklin, Louisiana on Sunday, June 17, 2007. Kena, as most knew her by, was born Aug. 25, 1916 and was one of five children of Dr. Guy G. and Florence L. Aycock. Her father, Guy Aycock, a Scottish descendent, was the former Mayor of Patterson from 1926 until 1939 where he founded Nurses Hospital, the first nursing school in the State of Louisiana. Dr. Aycock was elected Sheriff for the Parish of St. Mary, in 1940. Nine years later in September 1949, following a speaking engagement in New Orleans, Kena's father died unexpectedly from heart complications. While her mother, Florence Lewis Aycock, completed the unexpired term of her husband as the county sheriff, Kena unabashedly assumed the administrative challenges of a growing medical facility founded by her father. Her mother, Florence Lewis, a stellar lady embodying a strong sense of social justice through dialogue, easily defeated her opponents becoming the first elected female sheriff in the state and other states in the early 1950s.
Although a gifted athlete in her younger years, an accomplished Atchafalaya swimmer along with her brother and sister, she routinely engaged in sparring matches to increase personal stamina. An avid outdoor tennis player leading teams to state competition, she was listed by the Times Picayune as the state indoor table tennis champion while still in nursing school. After one year as a physical education student at Northwestern State University, Kena hopped a train bound for New Orleans determined to pursue a career in nursing. Landing on the doorsteps of Mercy Hospital, nursing administrators requested parental approval which was granted when her father drove to New Orleans to confirm Kena's enthusiasm.
A graduate of Mercy College School of Nursing in New Orleans in 1941, she continued medical training at Louisiana Charity Hospital becoming a nurse anesthetist in 1942. As a pioneer in the early days of anesthesia, where administering ether was the most common form of anesthetizing patients before surgery, she continued to expand her scientific learning core by studying herbal medicine, acupuncture, and spiritual psychology. Kena was also an avid student of traditional medical practices often employing indigenous home remedies to sooth the illnesses of the elderly and children. Her county house calls to patients were threaded with Kena's special brand of treatment ? compassion, humor and self-care, a sort of Patch Adams approach to humanness. Her progressive nature stimulated many innovations which frequently challenged hospital protocol by introducing alternative operating room procedures and medical devices still in use by anesthesiologists today.
She served as a lieutenant in the U.S. Army Nurses Corps at Camp LaGarde Medical Hospital in New Orleans from 1942 until 1944 where she met and married Edward W. Flynt and had four children. Following the war, they returned to Franklin where Kena became an assistant to her father at the Aycock Clinic which had opened in 1941, only one year prior to her joining the U.S. armed services. As the only operating room anesthetist for miles around, she maintained a routine peppered with enthusiasm dashing from the operating room to attend emergency calls at other area hospitals day and night.
Forfeiting her love for athletics and the ribbons of luxury which often accompany, Kena's dedication to care for the sick, her vocatus, imbued her purpose driven life, one clearly without discrimination as to social class, religious difference, and racial or ethnic background. Accompanying her whimsical, free-floating laughter, the grace of touching hands was the unquestioned symbol of her presence.
"You knew by the way she held your hand, by the way she touched you, it was Kena," said a friend and associate.
Although she never really elaborated on the precise origin of this unusual name given to her by her father, it must have been synchronistic, originating from the word "kinesthesia," meaning an ability to sense a position, or, a light touch. Yet, in many ways Kena's journey was not different from many, she insisted there is a "hero" in all of us. She continually endeavored to discover the new horizons of her own hero ? "the task of the hero is to go through life's struggles and be transformed by them" (Jung).
After a tragic Greyhound bus-train crash less than a few miles from the Clinic, increasing probabilities of hurricanes in low-lying coastal areas, and a general increase in the county's population, Kena's commitment to community facilitated the organizing and eventual construction of a larger medical facility, the Franklin Foundation Hospital, which opened on June 1, 1953. She became its first superintendent until Grady Wells, a professional hospital administrator, relocated to Franklin to assume administrative responsibilities.
During her years as a professional dedicated with unscrupulous values to the respect of the dignity of humans, Kena's small frame gave her an unsuspecting presence which, when called for, unleashed her audacious determination to balance equities, create harmony, and drive for common goals. Her energy and resonate laughter inspired fellow workers and many others with accepting the validity of their own unique potential, a potential yet to be discovered.
Over the years, she walked with many, in fact, too many to recount here. Nonetheless, some of the medical practitioners, professionals, religious and political leaders are Dr.'s J.M. Fernandez, Louis J. Supple, Giuseppe Musso, D.J. Daspit, Larry Mouch, Skippy Stirling and Larry Schexnayder; nurses and administrators Jeanette Johnson, Lionel Mensman, Guy Kaufman, Virginia Todd, Billy Minor, Jeanne McGraw, Lucille Hayes, Dan Turner; and anesthetists Hertha Barrilleaux and Susan Landry.
Her brother, Dr. Clifton G. Aycock, a graduate of the LSU School of Medicine practiced as a surgeon until his death in 1999. He was a Lieutenant in the U.S. Navy Medical Corps and saw action in the Pacific. Another brother, Roy Aycock, following a short stint in pre-med, joined the U.S. Navy. After the war, Roy completed studies in theology in Patterson, New Jersey and was ordained a priest in 1955. Her sister, Bobbie Aycock is a retired nurse-anesthetist who also served in the U.S. Army, still lives in Franklin and continues her fishing hobby on weekends. Harry Aycock, Kena's youngest brother, served in the U.S. Navy like his two older brothers and still maintains a residence in Los Angeles.
When Kena married Matt Bell, son of John Bell Sr., her children with Edward Flynt, Eddie Guy, Chips, Phil, and Missy were adopted by Matt, becoming total 'Bells.' Matt was employed as an engineer for Sterling Sugars where he retired before embarking on a journey to Indonesia to train workers on behalf of the U.S. government on advanced technologies for sugar production. Kena and Matt had three children, Roye, an educator at Hanson High School, Robert Mathew Jr., a metal worker, and Gigi, a registered nurse at Lourdes's Hospital.
Kena has 20 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren who will learn from her dedication and leadership. The family gives special thanks to Cindy Hebert, Luna Bodin and Audrey Hicks; her personal physician, Dr. Roland Degeyter, and medical assistants, Louise Rogers, Sherry Carter, Donald Mae Davis, Mary Beth Pillaro and Eleanor Washington with Journey Hospice. Though all of Kena's friends and acquaintances cannot be named in this limited space, the family offers its deep gratitude for their warmth and kindness - "sharing your uniqueness, like others before her, has carved and shaped her radiant stone, a pliable and integrated source of her unending energy - The energy of luminous soul!
"Let us not leave without acknowledging the action of Reciprocity. It means the unconditional exchange of values (love, trust and integrity) for the benefit of each person in a dynamic relationship - it is the energy, like energy of the soul, fueling personal expansion. Chips, Kena's son and our loving brother provided us with a splendid model of the action of reciprocity. Words cannot express our gratitude for his years of dedication, his care and personal devotion to Mom."
Kena's heritage was Scottish, first landing in the Carolinas and eventually moving to the farmlands of Louisiana. She, like her cousins, was a descendent of Simon Aycock, 1760, whose branch led to Albert A. Aycock, from Chacahoula. Albert, a plantation overseer, had 10 children and off-springs included many children who embraced the salting presence of respect for nature and human-kind in their religious, political, medical and business professions.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be sent to the Kena Foundation benefiting the Franklin Foundation Hospital at P.O. Box 577, Franklin, La. 70538.
