Joyce Bell-Dolle Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Strawser Funeral Home - Blue Ash on Jan. 31, 2026.
Joyce Mae (née Sutherland) Bell-Dolle, aged 95 and a resident of Loveland, passed away on Thursday, January 29, 2026. Throughout her life, Joyce embraced her many blessings with deep gratitude; rather than dwelling on loss, she let each experience strengthen her faith and wisdom. Joyce was married to both David R. Bell and Don Dolle, who preceded her in death. She was a devoted mother to Debbie Eysoldt, David (Mandi) Bell, Randy Bell, Timmy (Vivian) Bell, Becky (Jim) Bell, Terry (Bob) Sheeran, and the late Bobby (Denise) Bell. She was also a stepmother to Kim Hartman, Beth Dolle, and Janie Medl.

If grandchildren were flowers, her garden would be among the area's largest, blessed with 39 grandchildren, 114 great-grandchildren, and two more great-grandchildren soon to arrive.

A long-time parishioner at Good Shepherd Catholic Church, family and friends will gather there on Wednesday, February 4th, from 11:00 am to 12:00pm with a Mass of Christian Burial immediately following. After the Mass, there will be a burial at Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Montgomery, Ohio. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Down Syndrome Association of Greater Cincinnati. https://www.dsagc.com/ways-to-give/donate-now/
