Nancy Hewitt Bell, 76, of Statesville, N.C., passed away peacefully at home on September 13, 2025.

Nancy was born in Statesville in 1948. In 1967, she married Craig Bell, beginning a 58-year partnership built on love and devotion. Together they raised two daughters, who were the center of her world.
