Pamela Ann Bell

Pamela “Pam” Ann Bell, 68, passed away peacefully on Thursday, June 19, 2025, in New Albany, Ohio. She was born on May 10, 1957, in Columbus, Ohio, to the late Richard L. Myers, Sr. and Nina J. VanDyke.

A proud graduate of New Albany High School, Class of 1975, Pam began her career at the law firm of Lucas, Prendergast, Albright, Gibson & Newman. She later continued her work in the legal field at Squire, Patton & Boggs, where she finished a career marked by dedication and professionalism.

Pam was preceded in death by her parents and her devoted husband of 43 years, Thomas “Tom” Bell.

She was a loving and selfless wife, mother, and grandmother—always putting family first. She leaves behind her daughter, Sarah Tournoux, her son-in-law, Scott Tournoux, whom she lovingly thought “walked on water” and her cherished grandson, her “little buddy,” Camden Tournoux. Pam is also survived by her extended family of in-laws, nieces, nephews, and many dear friends.

To those who knew her best, she was affectionately called “mama Bell”—a reflection of the warmth, care, and kindness she shared with everyone around her.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to both Our Home New Albany and Suncrest Hospice for their compassionate care and support.

Pam will be deeply missed but lovingly remembered for her gentle spirit, unwavering love, and her beautiful smile that was truly infectious.

Pam’s funeral service will be held at the funeral home on Thursday, June 26, beginning at 10:30 AM.
