Catherine A. Bell, a kind, caring and compassionate soul, passed from this world while surrounded by her loving family, and entered the full joy of the Lord Thursday, July 10, 2014.

Catherine graduated from Willard High School, and Dec. 24, 1948 married George A. Bell. The couple reared three children and shared nearly 54 years of marriage prior to George’s passing Oct. 10, 2002. Catherine was a devoted wife and mother, and was a retired employee of Indian Valley Schools at Enon. Catherine’s life revolved around God and family, and doing for others. She especially enjoyed cooking, baking and making candy. She attended LifeBridge Community Church at Dover, and belonged to the Women’s Bible Study group at Sugarcreek.
