Betty passed away peacefully on February 25, 2015. We bid her farewell with a sure knowledge that the world is better for her life and her abiding love toward all she knew.
Betty was born December 23, 1935 to Printess and Ruth Fitzgerald. She was raised among her many siblings, cousins, and friends in Draper.
In 1956, she met the love of her life, Terrel Howard "Ted" Bell, and they were married in the Logan LDS Temple on August 1, 1957. Betty and Ted were blessed with four sons, Mark (Laura), Warren (Tammy), Glenn (Carmen), and Peter (Catherine). They are also blessed by eleven grandchildren - Emily, Clark, Ashley, Sarah, Grayson, Anna, Lauren, Calvin, Thomas, Dylan, and Ella; and six great-grandchildren.
Betty's enduring legacy will be the lives she touched with an endless outpouring of love, care, compassion, empathy, support, understanding, forgiveness, and always-wise advice.
Ted and Betty Bell spent their lives in the service of others. Ted was often in the limelight, in a career devoted to public education; yet he was ever mindful that Betty's love and support enabled all of his success.
Betty's days were always devoted to meaningful service to Ted, to her boys, to her extended family, to her church, and to her community.
Notably, in the early 1980s, while Ted served the nation's schools, Betty quietly served the men and women of Falls Church and Arlington, Virginia as a Relief Society president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Betty was consistently involved in the schools attended by her children, and in the late 1980s devoted countless hours to the West High School community as PTA President.
Betty was predeceased by her dear husband, who passed away in 1996; her parents; and many of her siblings. She is survived by her children; grandchildren; great-grandchildren; five younger siblings - Nephi Fitzgerald, Orene Angell, Brian Fitzgerald, Colleen Winkler, and Kathy Fullmer; and many beloved nieces and nephews.
The family extends its heartfelt thanks to those who provided for Betty's care and comfort: to those at Legacy House senior living centers; and especially to the loving and caring staff of Silverado Senior Living and Hospice, and those serving in the Silverado Branch of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Family and friends are invited to share their love and memories of Betty at a viewing to be held on the evening of Sunday, March 1, 2015 between 6:00 and 8:00 p.m. at McDougal Funeral Home, 4330 South Redwood Road (1700 West), Taylorsville. Funeral services will be held at 12:00 p.m. the following day, Monday, March 2, 2015, in the Riverview Ward Chapel, 5550 South 1300 West, Taylorsville, where friends may visit prior to the services from 10:00 until 11:30 a.m.
Interment following the funeral in the Larkin Sunset Gardens Cemetery, 1950 East Dimple Dell Road (10600 South), Sandy.
