Eunice Clabough Bell

Eunice Clabough Bell, 87, went home to see Jesus on Wednesday, February 29, 2012. She worked for many years and retired from J.H. Kellman. She was a member of Union Missionary Baptist Church. She enjoyed gardening and writing poetry. She was a loving wife and very devoted mother to her nine children which brought her the most joy in life.
