Jonathan (Wayne) Bell, Sr. was born on October 7, 1959 to  Clara Bell Jones. On Tuesday, April 6, 2021, Wayne  passed away in Inspira Medical Center, Vineland after a  lengthy illness caused by cancer. He has gained his wings and went home to be with the Lord.

Wayne graduated from Fairfield Township Middle School  and attended Bridgeton High School. He worked at  Seabrook Brother and Sons in Seabrook NJ and Griffin Medical Supply. He became disabled and had to go on sick leave and he  then retired.

He loved to ride his bike (that bike was his town car.) He loved to cook on the grill, especially ribs. They were his specialty. Boy, did he make a mean  rib. He was a great cook. He loved to watch western movies. He also  enjoyed fishing. He adored his wife (the love of his life.)

Words Spoken By His Mother

"I am surely going to miss Wayne. I am going to miss him playing jokes on me, him bringing me candy and other  sweets that I should have not been eating. He always  made sure I was OK and looked out for me in every way  possible. He loved to keep my yard clean and beautiful. You could not tell him anything about that grass. He liked it cut a certain way and if it was cut any different, he  would be so mad, and he did not want anyone else touching it. He had to give it his perfect touch.

I'm really going to miss him."

He was predeceased by his wife, Carol Moss-Bell, sister, Evelyn (Bootsie) Bell-Williams; father, grandparents, Peter and Clara Bell; uncle, Peter Bell, Jr.; aunts, Virginia Lewis and Ida Williams.
