Cletus Mae Bell LYNDHURST

Cletus Mae Bell, 81, of Lyndhurst, went to be with our Lord on Friday, December 3, 2010, at Augusta Nursing and Rehab Center.

She was the beloved wife of Harold Johnson and Titus Bell. She was the daughter of the late Charles Minor and Rosa A. Shiflett McCauley.

In addition to her parents and husbands, she was preceded in death by a brother, Charles McCauley.

She was a member of Mt. View Mennonite Church and retired in 1992 from ConAgra as a Supervisor with 25 years of service.

Cletus is survived by brothers, Leonard McCauley of Weaver, Alabama, and James McCauley of York, Pennsylvania; as well as a sister, Martha M. Hiner of York, Pennsylvania.

Church members along with special friends, Sheryl Ratcliff and Elwood Fitzgerald; and nephew and nieces, will miss her greatly, so will her pets.

A service will be held 2 p.m. Tuesday, December 7, 2010, at the Waynesboro Chapel of Reynolds Hamrick Funeral Homes with Pastor Earl Monroe officiating. Interment will follow in Augusta Memorial Park.

Active pallbearers will be family members attending the service. Honorary pallbearers will be her nieces and friends attending the service.

The family will receive friends from 7 until 8 p.m. Monday, December 6, 2010, at the funeral home.

The family gives many heartfelt thanks to the staff members of Augusta Health and Augusta Nursing and Rehab Center for their loving care of Cletus.

You don't have to be born into a family to be a part of it. Mrs.Bell was a great friend to my Granny and Granddaddy for many years.(Clyde Carter Sr. and Lucille),and my Aunt Sheryl. We adopted her into our family-she was easy to love.It won't be the same without her.My mom,(Donna) will miss their talks at holiday dinners. We were the blessed ones to have her in our lives.
