Obituary:

Lynn Marie Bell (Abatangle)

February 5, 1967 - April 5, 2024

Lynn passed away peacefully on April 5, 2024 in Folsom, CA at the age of 57 after a 3-year fight with stage-4 lung cancer. Lynn leaves behind a legacy of love and devotion that are cherished by all who knew her. She was preceded in death by her mother Carol Abatangle and her father Jerome Abatangle, who undoubtedly welcomed her with open arms in heaven. Lynn is survived by her devoted husband, David Bell, her loving daughters Erin and Robin and her twin sister, Laura Owens (Scott) and big brother Steve Abatangle (Amy). Lynn's identical twin bond with Laura was a source of strength and closeness throughout their lives.

A graduate of Lodi High School in 1985, Lynn continued her education at San Joaquin Delta College and CSU Chico, where she pursued her passion for learning. Lynn's career in Education spanned several roles, including Middle School Teacher in Tracy, CA, Substitute Special Education Teacher in Auburn, CA, and Educational Specialist at Folsom Cordova Community Charter School.

A woman of faith, Lynn worshipped at Oak Hills Church in Folsom where she found deep friendships and encouragement. Her hobbies included being a dance mom at Leighton Dance Project to support Robin and all her friends pursuing dance, supporting Erin as she impacts everything she touches, birdwatching, travel, cycling, kayaking, gardening and leading or participating in Bible study groups. Lynn's positive spirit and enthusiasm for life touched all who had the privilege of knowing her. She truly was the arms and legs of Jesus everywhere she went. A light! She will be missed beyond what words can describe.

Lynn requested that any donations made on her behalf be made to the HART of Folsom where she and Dave have actively volunteered for years:

My sweet Lady Lynn, I will miss you very much. One of my favorite memories with you and Laura was when we choreographed and performed our dance/acrobat routine for our 6th grade class to "We're a couple of misfits" from the soundtrack of Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer. Great memories of us practicing at your house! --Enjoying all the fun-filled birthday parties that your mom would plan for all of us to enjoy and that I know that you then did for your girls:) I also remember all the fun times at your house and being in the kitchen with your mom because she was always cooking up good eats for all of us and letting us girls watch and learn.......I just came across Mrs. Abatangle's 7 layer dip recipes. ---I heard of your passing from Laura as I was in Montana visiting my daughter in college, and what a blessing that Laura sent us the link to watch Robin's senior dance performance in NY! So much talent, I was speechless! I love you, my friend. A beautiful legacy of love and kindness. -----Trish (Blasl) Dondero

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. You were one of my first good friends when we worked at Monte Vista Middle School. Fun times we had walking to my house at lunch time and enjoying a lunch that Ernie made.

Pure pleasure back in 1978, meeting my cousin Lynn Marie (Abatangle) Bell, for the first time. The meeting happened at the home of her parents, Jerry and Carol, who was also my 1st cousin.

Something I learned about my teacher 27 years ago was, how much she liked to teach!

Lynn was very active in Girl Scout "super troop" 1367, and opened her home to crafts, pool parties and other activities for the girls. It was a sweet time that I will always treasure.

Lynn was my child's teacher at Folsom Cordova Charter School for two years, before she retired due to the cancer. We loved her so much. She made that experience so wonderful and always had interesting things to share, great ideas, and had a connection to everyone. She became a wonderful friend to our family. My child bought her a pink plush rabbit to comfort her after her diagnosis. Lynn named it Pinku, Japanese for pink. Knowing that we gave her a small bit of comfort throughout this journey felt like our hearts stayed connected throughout it all. We really love her and miss her and wish you all comfort and peace in the coming years. (Here is pic of when we delivered Pinku.)
