Marjorie Ella Bell, 98, of Saegertown, passed away Saturday, April 23, 2022, at Crawford County Care Center with family by her side.

She especially enjoyed crocheting, sewing, reading, crossword puzzles, sitting outside amongst her beautiful flowers, watching the birds, time spent surrounded by family, watching golf tournaments, and was an avid Pittsburgh Steelers and Pirates fan.
