Cecil Bellows Obituary

Cecil Bellows

Royal Palm Beach, FL - Cecil George Bellows, Jr., 77, of Royal Palm Beach, FL, passed away on March 4th, 2026, at his home.

Born on December 11th, 1948, in Greenfield, Massachusetts, Cecil, Jr. was the son of Cecil and Jessie Bellows. He grew up in Charlemont, Massachusetts with his three sisters Penny Graves, Ruth Clark, Nancy Latour and two brothers Robert and Chuck Bellows. Cecil graduated from Mohawk Trail High school in 1968, where he acted as Class President. He proudly served in the United States Air Force from 1969 to 1972 and was a veteran of the Vietnam War. Over the years, he spent his life coaching soccer and softball for his children and was known for being a devoted family man who cherished time together, especially during the holidays.

Cecil worked at Pratt & Whitney for 30 years, where he spent a majority of those years as Supervisor of Quality Control. Outside of work, he found joy in fishing, gardening, bird watching, his beloved New England Patriots, and time spent with neighbors and community friends.

Cecil is survived by his wife of 54 years Sharon Bellows, his son Eric Bellows, and daughter Amy Sluder.

A funeral will be held on March 12th, 2026, at 12:30pm at Palms West Funeral Home and Crematory. Family and friends gathering to remember the life of Cecil Bellows will begin at 11:30am.

Cecil Bellows will be remembered for his love, values, and positive impact on others, and his memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
