Tandy Wayne Bell, aged 69, passed away suddenly in Mathiston, Mississippi. He was the husband of Rachel Harris Bell and son of late Gay and Clara Williamson Bell.
Tandy attended Maben School and shortly thereafter married his wife, Rachel, of fifty years. He worked at various manufacturing companies before his retirement. He loved fishing but was always so busy at his jobs that he had little time to enjoy it. Throughout his life he had various animals that he cared for all the way from emus, pigs, and goats to horses. Not only did he enjoy tending his animals but loved taking care of others. His favorite thing was going to auctions and participating in on-line auctions. One of his treasures was a new “old” tractor that he had bought at an auction.
He is survived by his wife, Rachel Harris Bell; two sons, Ronnie Layne (Brittany) Bell and Donnie Wayne Bell both of Maben, Mississippi; three grandchildren, Donnasha Hubbard, Mariah Bell, and Alexis Bell; one great grandchild, Daylen Hubbard, and three sisters, Katie Mann of Maben, Mississippi, Jeffie Box of Mathiston, Mississippi, and Nancy (Gaylan) Raines of Ackerman, Mississippi.
Preceding Tandy in death are his parents, Gay and Clara Williamson Bell; four brothers, V. T. Kelly, L. C. Kelly, K. C. Kelly, Billy Kelly, and Randy Bell; and one sister, Marie Johnson.
