Louise Bell went home to be with the Lord on Thursday, April 5, 2018.

Louise Bell was born February 13, 1926, in Cairo, Illinois. The eldest daughter of Leon Roberts Sr., and Willie B. Hickman.

She graduated from high school in 1944 and moved to Akron, Ohio.  Louise received Christ at an early age and was a faithful member of Mount Haven church.  She met and married Milton Bell on April 5, 1971, and was married for 27 beautiful years.  While she did not have children of her own, she treated and cared for her nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews as her very own.

Louise loved to travel, spend time with her sister, go to thrift stores, and spend time with her family.  Louise lived a gratifying life, at the age of 92 she could say “I lived a good life”.  I saw what I wanted to see, and did what I wanted to do”.  She did things her way and she meant what she said.  Although she will be greatly missed, we each have many memories to cherish of her.

Louise Bell was preceded in death by her parents Leon Roberts Sr., and Willie B. Hickman; husband Milton Bell; siblings Leon Roberts Jr., LaDon Roberts, Richard Roberts, and Beverly Roberts.  She is survived by siblings Evelyn Lee, Patricia Roberts, and Michael Roberts; nieces and nephews Regina (James) Brewer, James Lee, Renee (Ed) King, Dante Lee, Wesley (Sharee) Lee, and special niece Shalon Lee.  She also leaves to cherish a host of great nieces and nephews, god-daughter, friends and family.
