Dottie Sue Bell 
Nov. 25, 1933 - Jan. 14, 2006 


A celebration of life for our beloved Dottie Bell will be held on Wednesday, 
January 18, 2006, at 1:30 p.m. at New Life in Christ Church, 7000 Wible Rd., 
Bakersfield, CA. Dottie was born in Mulberry, Arkansas to Pet and Lillie 
Whitlock. They moved to Weedpatch, CA when she was very young. The family 
owned a general store, where she had her first job, at the soda fountain. She 
attended Kern Union High School, now Bakersfield High School, and graduated as 
a member of the class of 1951. She could often be found at Dewar's Ice Cream 
Parlor and was known as one of the Dewar's girls. She worked as a secretary 
for several Bakersfield businesses such as Hawk Oldsmobile, Barber Pontiac, 
CPA firms and Tenneco Oil. She later moved to Fresno, CA for many years, 
eventually returning to Bakersfield. One of her passions was playing the 
piano, and could be heard for many years at the Revival Tabernacle Church in 
Lamont, CA. She also taught piano in her younger years. She most recently 
played at New Life in Christ Church until just before her passing. She also 
loved to decorate and socialize with family and very dear friends. As Dottie 
entered the Kingdom of Heaven, she was greeted by her husband, Larry Bell; 
son, Lawrence Bradley Smith; parents, Pet and Lillie Whitlock; brothers, Lloyd 
and Aaron Daniel Whitlock; sisters, Vera Lee Anderson and Fleda Mae and 
brother-in-law, Leo David. She is survived by sons, Loren and Gary Smith; 
daughter-in-law, Oma Smith; grandchildren, Marcus Banducci, Jessica Smith and 
Kristofer Smith; great- granddaughter, Janie Banducci; stepson Trent Bell and 
stepdaughter, Kristy Bell and many very loved dear friends and family members. 
Dottie was always very friendly, social and gave unmeasurable love and 
kindness to those she knew and strangers alike. Her dreams were always to have 
her family and friends near to her, healthy and happy. She will be dearly 
missed by all who knew her. Viewing began Tuesday, January 17, 2006, at 
Greenlawn Mortuary, 3700 River Blvd.
