Ronald Phillip Bell

Ronald Phillip Bell, “Paisy” 72, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin, nephew, and friend, was born on May 27, 1949, and departed this life on January 12, 2022.

He was born in Washington, DC, to the late Ronald Bell and Anna Mae Bell.  He was the oldest of eight siblings.  Ronald was raised and educated in Washington, DC, and in 1972 he met the love of his life Ellen Marie Bell.  They had a son, Jason Carl Bell, from this union in 1976.   He attended Temple Business Data Processing School while working at National Recreation and Parks Association. He was promoted to their accounting and membership department and remained at NRPA for 35 years until retirement.

His favorite activities were bike riding, basketball, disc golf, and cooking.  He had a gift of carpentry and woodworking with a keen artistic eye to create original designs.  Ron had a witty sense of humor that contributed to his charm.  He loved nature and walking in the woods. He also loved music, and that is how he best expressed himself.

In his final years and days, Ron and his wife spent a lot of time driving, praying, and talking about angels and Heaven.  In those precious days, he said “yes” to God, and he was at peace.

Ron is survived by his wife Ellen, son Jason Bell, Sisters:  Carol Tucker (Orpheus), Grace Bell, Lydia Bell (John); Brothers:  Reverend Daryl Bell (Carolyn), Ralph “Chico” Bell (Janice), Morris Bell, Granddaughter Jada Marie Bell; Aunt Evelyn Craig of South Boston, Virginia, and Uncle Morris Craig of Washington, DC.  He will be missed by a host of many relatives and friends.

He is predeceased by his mother, Anna Craig Bell; his father, Ronald Bell; and his brother Leslie Howard Bell (Darlene).
