Arch Allen Bell, a native of Kyle, TX and resident of Thibodaux, LA was called 
to rest on March 7, 2016.

A visitation will be held in his honor on Saturday, March 12, 2016 at First 
United Methodist Church in Thibodaux, LA from 9:30 am until the religious 
service at 11:00 am. 

The burial will follow in St. Joseph Cemetery, Thibodaux, LA.

He is survived by his loving wife of 59 years, Mary Margaret Bell; daughter, 
Robin Ann Bell; son, Robert Allen Bell; sister, Patricia Bell Audilet; 
grandchildren, Hayley Bell Smith, Ryan Lee Bowker, Mary Kathryn Szush, Scott 
Jacob Szush, Jessica Szush Granier, Andrew Warren Szush; and numerous great

Arch was an Army veteran who served in the Korean Conflict. After an honorable 
discharge from the U.S. Army, he was instrumental in the offshore oil and gas 
field development in West Africa, Western Australia, the Middle East, and the 
North Sea. 
Once retired he used his creative wood working talent to help his daughter 
design and build frames for her international art gallery with wood gathered 
from the South Louisiana bayou area. These frames now hang in homes world wide. 
He also loved to follow baseball particularly the EDW Cardinals, Nicholls 
Colonels, and LSU Tigers, but most of all, he enjoyed the time spent with the 
family that he loved.

In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to First United Methodist Church in 
Thibodaux, LA.

Landry is in charge of arrangements.
