Catherine Bell

October 24th, 1938 - August 10th, 2024

Catherine “Katy” Bell, 85, passed away Saturday, August 10, 2024 surrounded by her family. She was born in Kansas City, Missouri on October 24, 1938 to William and Dorothy (Stoner) Reese.

She married James “Jim” Bell in 1956 and they lived their lives together until his death in 2023. Katy was a strong, independent woman before it was fashionable. She loved to read and was a phenomenal Scrabble player. She enjoyed playing word games on her computer and going to the Casino.

Katy was preceded in death by her parents, husband Jim, brother Richard, sisters Harriet, Marion and Barbara, grandson James and great-grandson Jordan. She is survived by her brother William Reese, children Jack Bell, Theresa (Don) Hayden and Karen Wright, grandchildren Amber (Jessie) Scribner, Holly (Duke) Dresen, Amanda (Chris) Garner, Thomas (Sara) Bell and Alexander Vroutos, great-grandchildren Riley, Alana, Christopher, Guy “Duke”, Lacey, Luke, Richard and Lola, and numerous nieces and nephews.

We will never see a peacock feather or hear a song by CCR without thinking of her.
