Nona Bell

Memorial Services for Mrs. Nona Bell, 79, who entered into rest, December 14, 2024, will be conducted Saturday, December 21st, at 11 o’clock in the Posey Funeral Chapel with Rev. Steve Davis officiating. The family will receive friends at the funeral home one hour prior to the service. A private interment will be held at a later date. Nona was born April 10, 1945, in Wooster, OH, to the late Clyde Senn and Lonetta Mae Fuller Senn. She graduated from nursing school and had a fulfilling career as a registered nurse for 35 years while she resided in North Augusta. Her innate ability to decern and care for the needs of others allowed her to impact the lives of her patients and their families alike. Nona had a special place in her heart for children. She taught pediatric nursing and served as a lactation consultant for many years before transitioning her career to hospice care. Nona served hospice patients across the C.S.R.A. but primarily in the communities of Barwell, SC. When she encountered the unfortunate circumstances of pediatric hospice care, she always volunteered, extending her expertise and compassionate care unlike any other. Nona also cared very deeply for her furry friends, even establishing her own non-profit animal shelter. She had an unmatched work ethic and always put the needs of others ahead of her own. Above all her career aspirations and community service, Nona’s calling and paramount responsibility was to her family. She was a remarkable and an ever-present wife and mother. Nona fostered children and loved them as her own. She always found a way to be the loving wife and nurturing mother her family needed, while excelling in her career and serving others outside her family. In her retirement, she relocated with her husband to one of their favorite places on earth, Edisto Beach. Nona was a long-time member of Grace United Methodist Church in North Augusta and was a devout Christian woman, who was a shining example of Godly love throughout her life. In addition to her parents, Nona was preceded in death by a son, Matthew David Bell. Surviving family members left to cherish her memory include her beloved husband of 57 years, David M. Bell; her children, Amanda Hammond (Eddie), Charles William Bell (Tiffany), Andrew Patrick Bell (Meghan), Alice Kate Bruce (Marty), Tavish Leighanne Ashe (Chris), Sarah Bell, and Joseph David Bell (Cortney); and thirteen grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Animal Lovers of Edisto, www.animalloversofedisto.com or to SPCA Albrecht Center for Animal Welfare, www.letlovelive.org
