BELL DAVID E . ON SUNDAY, ...
BELL DAVID E . On Sunday, December 30, 2018, age 75, of Cranberry Twp., David was born and lived his entire childhood in Mans?eld, Ohio. After graduating high school, Dave completed his college studies at Bowling Green University where he majored in Public Relations and Business Management.

He worked 15 years (?rst in Mans?eld, then at the Edison, New Jersey Westinghouse plant where he met his wife, Augustine). Although he worked in public relations, his real love was woodworking and appreciation of all genres of music. This hobby lead him to build and repair several instruments while spending two years as a proprietor of The Music Ensemble in Wexford, PA. During his mid-life he went back to school and studied computer science. He went to work for Mellon Bank for ten more years. In retirement he enjoyed gardening, landscaping, some more woodworking until illness prohibited his hands from working properly. But it was David's sweet and generous nature to all persons that is his lasting legacy. His smile, sincere cordiality, love for people, and his patience are qualities that were precious and displayed at every juncture of his life. His family will miss him dearly. The family expresses deep and sincere gratitude to his Lord for knowing David Elbert Bell. He was a member of LifePointe Alliance Church in Franklin Park and the Clan Bell International.
