Orangeville, Utah – Ann Snow Bell, 78, passed away at home on March 21, 2011. She was born March 29, 1932, in Orangeville, Utah. She was the daughter of Earl and Jeanette Jensen Snow. She married George Terry Bell on Nov. 23, 1949, in the Manti LDS Temple. Her father passed away when she was only 2 years old, leaving her mother to raise six children. She lived all her life in Orangeville, Utah, which she loved almost as much as she loved the LDS church and her family.
She served in many capacities in the LDS church as a Relief Society President, Cub Scout Leader, Gospel Doctrine Teacher, Young Women Leader, and Primary teacher, which was one of her favorite callings. She and her husband served an LDS mission in Ketchikan, Alaska from 1993-1994. They also worked many years in the Manti Temple as ordinance workers.
She was a great example of love, faith, and compassion to all her family members. Her most prized possessions were her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Her door was always open for a great meal and a listening ear. She was accomplished at needlework, most of which were given away. She was avid in keeping her journal her whole life, and reading was a great outlet. Her grandchildren will miss the bubble gum, back scratches, hugs and loves.
She is survived by her husband, George. Children: Randy and LeAnn (Orangeville), Rue and Charlene (Orangeville), Marvin and Ardyth (Cleveland), Terry and Amy (Orangeville), Jan and Chris Olsen (Colorado), Michelle and Steve Scovill (Castle Dale). Preceded in death by her parents, two sisters, five brothers, a son, Phillip, two grandsons, Wayne and Chad and one great grandson, Trent.
