Sister Marion Miller Bell was born July 11, 1924 to the late Robert and Nannie P. Miller. She accepted Christ at an early age and was a faithful member of the Sweet Home Missionary Baptist Church until her health failed. Sis. Bell was united in holy matrimony to the late Richard D. Bell on August 15, 1942 in Silver Run, Alabama, where she lived her entire life. She was a member of the Golden Star Chapter, #377 OES.
