Geraldine Bell

In her spare time, she enjoyed reading the newspaper from cover to cover and working the word puzzles. She loved spending quality time with her family and friends and talking on the telephone with her sisters. Her favorite snacks were her crunchy Cheetos and Dollar General fudge-stripped cookies. She was a proud and active member of Peeples Valley Community Church.

She is preceded in death by her loving husband of fifty-five years, Richard Bobby Bell, Jr.; son, Jimmy Randall Bell; sister, Verabelle Waters Purcell; niece, Deborah Carol Payne Hendrix.
