Katherine Bell

Katherine (Kaye) Bell, 93 of Colonial Heights died Thursday, February 22, 2007. She joined the love of her life and husband of 69 years, John J. Bell who died December 1, 2006. She was the last to survive of the 13 children of Anna Smarega and Andrew Zeleznak, Sr., of Koppel, PA. â??Kaydeeâ? as she was called by her family was a multi talented loving woman who made a wonderful home for her husband and children in Beaver Falls, PA. Most of their lives were spent in western Pennsylvania, where she enjoyed a good game of bridge. Upon retirement they traveled and later settled near their daughter and granddaughter in Colonial Heights. Kaydee fought a tough battle with Alzheimers/Dementia over the last six years of her life. Thanks to her wonderful caregivers first at Dunlop House and later at In Home Adult Care in Ameila, VA. A very special thank you goes to Jane and April Easter and staff for the very special care they gave our mother during the last year of her life. You have a special place in our hearts. Kaydee is survived by her daughter, Kathee Bell Collett and husband Terry; a son, James J. Bell and wife, Antoinette of PA; granddaughter, Marikaye Pond and husband, Lindsey of Chester; great-grandsons John A and James L. Pond of Chester; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
