Mr. Charles Allen Bell

• BORN: December 20, 1926
• DIED: February 12, 2011
• LOCATION: Lindon, UT

Charles Allen Bell, 84, was born to Willis Milton Boutwell Bell and Sarah Ellinor
Teasdale on December 20, 1926, in Los Angeles, California. After a long life filled
with service he passed away on February 12, 2011. His wonderful sense of humor and
infectious smile will be missed by all who know and love him.

Charlie spent most of his boyhood years in Southern California where he met the love of
his life, Darlyne Cosby. They were married January 31, 1948 and sealed for time and all
eternity with their three children in the Los Angles Temple on June 19, 1976.
Charlie served in the Merchant Marines during World War II. He later worked for
Rockwell International as an electronic engineer while living in Anaheim, California.

Family and friends congregated at the Bell home over the years for barbeques and trips
to Disneyland. Charlie’s generous and comical nature made it a place filled with love,
acceptance and laughter for all who came to stay. Charlie’s great sense of adventure
led him to get his pilot’s license and anyone who flew with him can attest to a state of
fear that was induced on more than one occasion by his flying pranks. After retiring and
moving to Lindon, Utah, he faithfully attended almost every BYU football game. Charlie
will be remembered for his kindness and for the evident concern he displayed toward
those less fortunate than himself. He deeply loved his family and was a devoted son,
brother, husband, father, grandfather, uncle and friend. He loved to attend the events of
his six grandchildren and talk about their accomplishments, reveling in their successes.

Charlie served diligently in many auxiliaries of the church over the years. He and his
wife Darlyne were examples of missionary work in action; they brought many people to
the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout their years together. Charlie and Darlyne served a
mission on Temple Square from November 1994 to January 1996. This calling brought
them immense joy.

Charlie is survived by his two sons, Roger and Robbie; his daughters-in-law Liz and
Gina; his son-in-law Karl Pittman; his six wonderful grandchildren Kaylie, Evan,
Matthew, Brennan, Haylee, and Trevor along with nieces, nephews and friends. He was
preceded in death by his loving wife Darlyne and his beloved daughter Diane. There
