Wanda Jean Newton Bell

I have just learned of Mrs. Bell's passing, but, I wanted to share a few brief thoughts in her honor.
It was my pleasure to have served Wanda as an insurance agent for the past few years.
She epitomized what it means to be a gracious lady.
Her care and concern for others was obvious. I even felt she extended it even to me.
I will miss the occassional visits with this accomplished, respectable, genuine lady.
I am a better person for having been touched by her...

Wanda, what a remarkable life you lived. How much we value your friendship and generosity to our community. So glad I got to know you before you joined the company of angels. I send love and caring to your family.

We met Wanda and Bob more than 30 years ago when they moved to our village in Hampshire, England and have been their friends ever since.
Wanda was a kind a generous person always ready to help others.
Thanks to her we visited more than half of the States in the USA. Wanda and Bob took us once on an extended tour by car of the USA covering 7 states and over 6000 miles.
They will always live in our memories.

I was able to travel with Wanda in November to the TFRW convention in Galveston. We had so much fun and so many laughs. She was a wonderful, caring and spirited Republican Woman. I loved her and will miss her so much. My thoughts and prayers to her family. She always talked about you with pride. I am so glad we were able to meet Delwin and hear about the impact she had on the lives of him and his family. Wanda was a class act! I will miss my friend and mentor.

My!! What sad, sad news to hear. Wanda seemed so well and happy last October at our 60th class reunion. She will be missed. I'll treasure the pictures I took of her then.

Wow! This was really a shock to me, I had an e-mail from Wanda just a few days ago telling me of friends from Africa who were visiting, places she was thinking of traveling and all of the plans she had for her various pursuits. I should have kept the letters she wrote me over the years, she was a great traveler, her stories were much better than those in the travel books. She was a great friend and I miss her already.

Growing up in Fort Worth, Debi and I spent almost as much time at each other's homes, as we did at our own...Bob and Wanda were second parents to me, and we always had fun together. Memories of lunches after church, Sundays in the pool, and movie nights, will always be very special.... I was one of the family. Bob and Wanda were and always will be very special to me. I think about Bob's sense of humor often, and I will remember Wanda's stories of all of her travels. I still use some of the...

Wanda and I graduated from Campion Academy, Loveland CO in 1949. Last September she was one of a special group of 17 classmates who were celebrating our 60th alumni reunion on the campus. We enjoyed her presence and sharing of memories. I will long remember a circle of prayer in the motel parking lot where 6 of us were preparing to leave and head home. Wanda was part of that circle and although saddened, I now look forward to the time when all 6 of us can form another circle in the very...

We have lost a long-time friend from school days. We grieved with her over the loss of Bob and now will miss her, her phone calls, and fun travel 'reports'. She had a busy and interesting life. Our condolences to the family.
