Claudine Renee Bell, 63, passed away Friday, October 10, 2025, at her home in Mishawaka. She was born on Wednesday, September 26, 1962, in Kalamazoo, Michigan to her loving parents R. Gordon Anderson and Grace Maxine Anderson, who preceded Claudine in death. Her beloved sister, Mary Joyce Anderson, also preceded her in death.
Claudine is survived by her sons, Kyle W. (Angel Cortes) Bell of Chicago, IL and Blair G. (Jess Roher) Bell of Goshen, IN; granddaughter Luna Grace Bell of Goshen, IN; and her brothers Bill (Cris) Anderson of Omaha, NE and Jim (Ginny) Anderson of Gull Lake, MI.
Claudine loved her family, her dogs, and her close friend Barb. She loved watching her boys play baseball, listening to rock 'n' roll, and watching movies. In addition to her role as a mother, she was an educator and a saleswoman. In her spare time, she created beautiful jewelry.
A memorial service will be held for Claudine at a future date. Donations in Claudine's memory may be made to the Alzheimer's Association at alz.org or Pet Refuge at petrefuge.com.
Palmer Funeral Homes, River Park Chapel is assisting the family. Online condolences may be offered at www.palmerfuneralhomes.com.
She's in the sun, the wind, the rain,
she's in the air you breathe
with every breath you take.
She sings a song of hope and cheer,
there's no more pain, no more fear.
You'll see her in the clouds above,
hear her whisper words of love,
you'll be together before long,
until then, listen for her song.
