Dorrel Craig Bell, a 47-year-old resident of Burley, passed away from his mortal existence peacefully in his sleep on Thursday, March 8, 2007.
He was born Sept. 26, 1959, in Burley, Idaho, the son of Hyrum and Verna Jeffery Bell. He attended grade school in Paul, and completed his education at Minico High School in Rupert. He married Virginia Mae Graf on July 21, 1993, taking her two children, Clellie and Cody, as part of his family as father and provider.
Dorrel was plagued with back problems from early childhood that made steady employment extremely difficult, even with medication. He underwent several operations to correct the problem to little or no avail. He struggled along as best that he could to the end.
Dorrel was a very caring and loving son, husband and father. He also had a great love for his many puppies who loved him back, who he said loved him unconditionally.
He is survived by his wife, Ginny Mae Bell of Burley; two children, Clellie Mae Laws of Burley and Cody J Laws of Boise; his parents, Hyrum and Verna Bell of Burley; his siblings, Jeffery K. (Susan) Bell of Strasburg, Ohio, Douglas M. (Winifred) Bell of Fountain Valley, Calif., Derrick W. (Brigette) Bell of Meridian, Forrest G. (Lisa) Bell of Burley, Bradley C. (Janet) Bell of Logan, Utah, Lorene (Brent) Maughan of Rupert, Kathleen (Steve) Clark of Moreno Valley, Calif., Laurelie Bell and Barton T. Bell, both of Harrisville, Utah, Terry L. Bell of Burley, Val-Gene K. Bell of Othello, Wash., and Melanie (Rick) Granillo of Burley; and two grandchildren, Tre Montana Caldwell and Tasheen Laws. He was preceded in death by his brother, Gregory L. Bell.
The funeral will be at 11 a.m. Tuesday, March 13, at the Burley LDS West Stake Center, 2420 Parke Ave., with bishop's counselor Kevin Hoggan officiating. Burial will be in Rupert Cemetery. Friends may call from 6 until 8 p.m. Monday at Rasmussen Funeral Home, 1350 E. 16th St. in Burley, and from 10 until 10:40 a.m. Tuesday at the church.
