Clarice L. Bell “Granny”, 85 of Hampton went home to be with the Lord on February 22, 2018 after a courageous battle with a brief illness. Clarice, originally from Tarboro, North Carolina, was born to the late Johnnie Mae (née Belch) and Charles Lassiter on the banks of the Tar River. Clarice was known for her wit and strong will and so many came to her to “hear it like it is”. Clarice took pride in her plants, flowers, and garden and enjoyed the summer months. Many would come to visit and leave with garden fresh vegetables and an earful of valuable words of wisdom.
Clarice was preceded in death by her husband, Robert L. Bell Sr., and one grandson, Robert Michael Grant. She leaves behind to cherish her memory, one son, Robert L. Bell Jr., two daughters, Jeanne Ward (Sam), and Joanie Honard (Jeff); and a very special friend, Vicki.
Clarice’s love for her family was truly special and the influence that she had on her grandchildren will forever remain in their hearts. Clarice’s grandchildren will always remember her impact on how to live right and appreciate what God has given you. Clarice’s love for her grandchildren was very special and she leaves behind Leslie Woodson, Robert L. Bell III (Jennifer), and Benjamin Grant (Devon). Clarice leaves behind great-grandchildren, Katelyn Sanpedro, Jacob Burchak, Kayleigh Bell, and Harley Butler; and great-great-grandchild, Ezra Benford.
A celebration of Clarice's life will be held at 2:00 pm Tuesday, February 27, 2018 at Parklawn-Wood Funeral Home.
