Donna Jean Bell

Pre-deceased by her husband Albert Bell and only child Shari Lynn Camarata; stepson Jack Bell and her close friend and companion James Hayden.

Survived by grandson Brett Camarata; grandson Ron Camarata & wife Lori, 7 Camarata great grandchildren and 1 Camarata great-great grandchild; daughter in law Betsy Bell; stepson Rex Bell; 7 Bell grandchildren, 20 Bell great grandchildren and 7 Bell great great grandchildren.

Donna spent her life taking care of those she loved; her daughter Shari when she was paralyzed in an auto accident, her husband Al when he became ill, her great Uncle Guy, her uncle Garth and many others. When her daughter passed away, she raised her two grandsons as if they were her own. She and Grandpa (Albert Bell) gave up what should have been the quiet years, time to focus on their lives and each other, and spent those years instead raising Shari’s two sons.

She was small in stature, too small to contain her heart in life; she left a piece in every person she touched and we’ll never forget her.
