CAROL BELL

My mom, Carol, grew up on Ravenna Avenue. She used to tell me that when she was in high school she was "shy." When she left this planet, however, she was anything but shy! She was hilarous, smart, educated, and modest. So I break with my mom, and brag about her many talents:

As a loyal Teddie and Husky, she could sing, "We are the Teddies," and "Bow Down to Washington." As a camp counselor at Camp Sealth, she could heal the homesick, and build an brilliant fire, using the Teepee method.

In 1962, she obtained a BA in History. She loved her time at the University of Washington. In the 60's, she also married and had 3 children. She was a playful, devoted, and loving mother. View Memorial and Tributes
