Patsy Sue Bell went to be with the Lord on December 20, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and faith that will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew her.
Born on January 5, 1941, in Walnut Springs, Patsy lived a life marked by devotion to her family and unwavering trust in God. On April 2, 1960, she married the love of her life, Donald Seth Bell, with whom she shared a lifetime of memories, laughter, and steadfast partnership. Donald preceded her in death on December 30, 2013.
Patsy was the true matriarch of her family-mischievous in the most delightful way, endlessly friendly, funny and quick-witted, and always ready with humor that could brighten any room. Her laughter was contagious, her love unconditional, and her caring heart knew no bounds. She had a remarkable gift for making everyone feel seen, welcomed, and deeply loved.
She is survived by her children: daughter Traci and her husband Fred Simmons; and son Bobby and his wife Michelle Bell. Her legacy continues through her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, each of whom held a special place in her heart.
She is lovingly remembered by her eldest granddaughter Kayce and husband Mark Smith, along with great-grandchildren Kaitlyn, Jace, and Justyn Goains; granddaughter Bailey and wife Erica Thigpen; grandson Brett and wife Allison Bell and great-granddaughter Blayke Bell; grandson Brooks and wife Morgan Bell and great-grandchildren Stratton, Summit, and Maverick Bell; and grandson Bryce Bell.
Patsy took immense pride in her family and delighted in every milestone, story, and gathering. Her home was a place of warmth, laughter, and love-a true reflection of who she was.
Though deeply missed, her family finds comfort in knowing she is now at peace, reunited with her beloved husband and other loved ones who went before her, and joyfully in the presence of her Savior. Her life was a blessing, her memory a treasure, and her love an everlasting gift.
