Anne Marie (Johnson) Bell passed away Monday, April 8, 2019, after a short battle with pancreatic cancer.
Anne was born in a little two-room house in Dunn Center, N.D., Nov. 26, 1942, to Frank and Marian (Gage) Johnson. The family moved to Idaho in February 1943, living on Hatter Creek, and later in the Mountain Home area north of Potlatch.
Anne married William “Bill” Bell on June 22, 1958, in Potlatch. They had five boys between 1959 and 1964 (William, Rodney, Kenneth, Alan and Ronald). Anne and Bill celebrated 55 years of marriage before Bill’s death in April of 2012.
Anne thrived as a wife and mother. She enjoyed making a home for Bill and their sons. Anne felt blessed for her wonderful in-laws, William and Florence (Bawn) Bell. After her sons started school, Anne began working as a cook, first at the University of Idaho and later at the Latah County Jail. She took pride in doing her job well.
She enjoyed spending time with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and researching genealogy of her family and friends.
Anne was preceded in death by her parents; her husband’s parents; her husband, Bill; and two sons Alan (1982) and Kenny (2019). She was also preceded in death by her sisters, Shirley Kimberling and Mary Kay Liacos.
Anne is survived by a very large and loving family, including her sons, William (Lorin), Rodney (Pam), Kenny’s wife, Michele, and Ronald (Myra); 12 grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her brother, Eugene Johnson and sister Fran (Johnson) and Tom Shauvin, as well as many nieces and nephews.
A potluck celebration will be held in Anne’s honor at 1 p.m. April 27 at the Princeton Community Center.
Anne will be buried at a later date at Rock Creek Cemetery, Potlatch, in a private family celebration.
