Ellen Bell, 79, of Greenfield, passed away peacefully on September 17, 2026 with her family by her side. She was a beloved sister, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and cherished member of her family.
Ellen was born to the late Delbert and Mildred (Rivers) Grant. She was preceded in death by her significant other, Charles Mabb; her brothers, Skip, Leo, and Richard; and her sister, Shirley.
Ellen is survived by her sisters, Carol Grant, Sandy Covert, and Sharon Wine.
She leaves behind her four children: Her sons Clifford Bell and Steven Bell, and Daughters Tammy Bell and Peggie Bell.
Ellen was a proud grandmother to Amanda Gifford, Wayne Bell, Patrick Bell, Angel Gifford, Anthony Gifford, Travis Gifford, Bryanna Allen, Katherine Hammond, Dalton Allen, and Walter Mundell Jr.
She was also a loving great-grandmother to Santiago, Sebastian, Jesus Jr., Stella, Sophia, Jessenia, Gabriella, Patrick Jr., Hunter, Mya, Jackson, Logan, Christian Jr., Anthony Jr., Allyson, Mason, and Emerson.
Ellen loved her family dearly and cherished the time she spent with them. She was known for being sweet, kind, caring, and always having love to give to those around her. As a homemaker, she devoted much of her life to caring for her family and creating a loving home.
In her spare time, Ellen enjoyed knitting, crocheting, diamond painting, arts and crafts, doing puzzles and listening to country music. Her creativity and the love she poured into the things she made will remain special memories for those who knew her.
Ellen's greatest joy was her family. She will be deeply missed by her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, sisters, extended family, and all who had the privilege of knowing and loving her.
"Her hands may be still, but the love she gave her family will live on forever."
