Clyde Bell Obituary

Clyde Alton Bell
Born: May 26, 1950
Died: December 4, 2025 in Crystal Lake, IL
Clyde Alton Bell passed away on December 4, 2025, in Crystal Lake, Illinois, at the age of 75. Born on May 26, 1950, in El Dorado, Arkansas, he was the son of Clarence A. Bell and Catherine Bell.
Throughout his life, Clyde experienced many chapters and connections that shaped his journey. He shared a meaningful part of his life with his former wife, Connie L. Bell. Later in life, he found companionship and love with his wife, Annalise Hayes. Through this union, Clyde became a part of a blended family that included stepdaughter Kelly Welz (Hayes), stepson William Hayes, and two stepgrandsons, Oliver Hayes and Rowan Hayes.
Clyde's passing marks the close of a life rooted in both Arkansas and Illinois-a life that bridged generations and brought together families through enduring relationships. His presence will be remembered by those who knew him and shared in his story.
May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him.

So sorry about the passing of Clyde. I knew him through Sears when he was married to Connie as she is one of my best and dearest friends. Sorry for his loss.
