    Carolyn Bell died December 9th, 2014 at the Retreat at Marsh's Edge in Saint Simons Island, Georgia. She was 86 years old. Carol was born in Lockport, New York, on November 15, 1928. She was youngest child of Egbert Dexter and Katherine Weaver Corson.
    After graduating Emma Willard, a private girls' boarding school in Troy, NY, Carol attended Pine Manor College in the Chestnut Hill section of Brookline, MA. At Pine Manor, Carol discovered her interest in acting. She soon found work at the family owned radio station, WUSJ, in Lockport, NY where she was a radio host of her own program, "The Women's Hour", which focused on women's issues of the time.
    Carol continued her education and interest in the entertainment business at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City and graduated with a Bachelors of Arts degree in 1951. At the academy she flourished as an aspiring actress, made close friends, and stared in theater productions with the likes of fellow classmates Ann Bancroft and Grace Kelly.
    In 1952, Carol married Charles Herbert Bell, her Lockport hometown sweetheart at Grace Church in Lockport. The couple started their married life in Lockport, New York, and soon found themselves moving around the county in response to Charles' advancing career. Carol spent her decades raising four children, while the family took residence in various homes in the United States and Canada. Carol and Charles made their final home in St. Simons Island, GA, a favorite vacation spot after retirement.
    Carol was a devoted mother, a supportive loving spouse, an avid gardener and a follower of all sports. She played a mean game of croquet and bridge, took up tennis and bowling later in life, and loved to travel the world with her husband and friends. Most important to Carol was her role as mother and housewife to a growing family, a stabling force in a time of constant change.
    She is survived by her husband of 62 years, Charles H. Bell; her children Connie Bell O'Keefe of Westminster, MD; Christopher Bell of Glenville, PA; Cady E. Bell of Reisterstown, MD; Cathy Bell Andrews of Cockeysville, MD and their six grandchildren.
    The family plans to hold a memorial service after the Christmas holidays. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial donations be made to the Michael J. Fox foundation, which is accelerating the Parkinson's research break throughs that patients urgently need or Kennedy Krieger Institute, in Baltimore, Maryland one of Carol's favorite charities.
