Harold T. Bell

Harold T. Bell, age 84, U.S. Navy Veteran, beloved husband for 47 years to the late Linda C. Bell, nee Frieling (2025). Loving father of Harold (Carrie) Beck, Kristin (Michael) McNeely and Luke (Alexa) Bell. Cherished grandfather of 11 grandchildren: Kellan, Layla and April McNeely; Cooper, Mina, Eddie, Sutton and Greta Bell; Jason Beck, Kevin (Anna) Beck and Megan (James) Klopp. Dearest great-grandfather of Jax and Brooks. Devoted son of the late Lemuel and Ruth Bell. Dear brother of late Lemuel Jr. (Arlene) Bell, Millard (Martha) Bell, late Anna Mae (Mike) Jasper and Tina (Patrick) Brodrick. Dear uncle of many nieces and nephews.

Harold was a man full of boundless amounts of spirit and joy. Forever a kid at heart, he had a gift for bringing laughter and joy to lighten any room - even a hospital room. Harold was known for his strong work ethic, endless projects and meticulous attention to detail. Never one to sit still, he finally retired at the age of 76, and yet continued to approach each day with the same energy, determination and productivity that defined his working years.

Above all, Harold loved his family fiercely. He was always willing to lend a helping hand, offer advice, or proudly cheer on his grandchildren at their many sporting events. Family was at the center of his life, and he expressed great pride in those he loved. A devoted husband to Linda for 47 years, he cherished their days together and missed her dearly. Although he loved life, he couldn’t wait to dance with his bride again in heaven. We take comfort knowing that he is no longer suffering and has joined her in eternity.
