Born and raised in Salisbury, David was the son of the late Clara Mae Parker-Bell and Paul Emory Bell. He was a Master Plumber and Master Gas Fitter. He proudly spent over 40 years in the trade. He was a wonderful husband, father, son, brother and best friend. He was an avid story teller, and had never met a stranger in his life.
In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his sister Anna Mae Whited. David is survived by his ex-wife Susan Bell; son, Phillip Bell; daughter Brandi Bell-Noll; brother Tommy Bell and wife Paula Thorns-Bell; grandchildren Jordan and Abby Gerhardt, nephew George "Little" Whited, III, niece Jacque Whited, and many other beloved cousins and extended family.
There will be a Celebration of Life announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, David would want you to support the hard working, struggling men and women in your area.
The family would like to thank everyone for their support during this difficult time. David "Pooky" Bell would always want you to reach our your hand to those who might be less fortunate than yourself. Be a friend to those who might need it.
