Bruce Douglas Bell

March 27, 1937 - December 28, 2020

Bruce D. Bell Of Wilmington, IL age 83 passed away at his home surrounded by his family on December 28, 2020. He was born in New Richland Minnesota. He leaves behind his wife, Margie Bell (nee Delrose); three children, Cari (Brian) Grindstaff, Steven (Kimberly) Flynn and Sara Flynn; also, 4 grandchildren, Kail Grindstaff, Corban (Alyson) Flynn, Conner Flynn, Maxwell Grindstaff and one great grandson, Alistair Grindstaff. Bruce served his community as an Elder in the Wilmington Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses for nearly 40 years. And over 20 years before that serving other congregations. This Volunteer Ministry work allowed him the privilege of offering Bible based Teaching, council and other practical assistance, such as building places of worship. To those who he ministered, he will be greatly missed. Bruce loved discussing Bible prophecy and application with his friends and family. He also enjoyed going to garage sales, tinkering in his shop and fishing. Bruce was co-founder of MillTown Market in Wilmington and owned Bell's Electric and Construction until he retired in 2002. To Say Bruce touched the lives of many would be a grave understatement, as most reading this would already know. He will be missed.
