She was preceded in death by her husband of 64 years, John James Bell, Sr.; her brother Benjamin Leslie Team, Jr., brother-in-law Aubrey L. Whitfield and her son-in-law Kenneth Vause.

She leaves seven grandchildren: Patrick Bell and wife Diana, Lauren Bell, Katherine Boley and husband Bynum, Alec Bell, Jackson Vause and wife Fatima, Aaron Bell and Nathan Bell.

Born in Columbia, SC and raised in Camden, SC, Edna graduated from Winthrop College and worked in the employment office for Dupont until her marriage to John in 1952. Raising 5 children and managing several company transfers, including two to Brevard, Edna found time to develop an interest in quilting, cross-stitch and family genealogy. Spending time with family was a priority and she enjoyed the family summer gathering at the beach, time in the mountains and birdwatching. Her friends, neighbors, and members of the church community were extended family to her. She was a long-time member of Brevard-Davidson River Presbyterian Church and served in many different ways.

There will be a memorial service at 2:00 pm on Friday, October 21, 2022 at Brevard-Davidson River Presbyterian Church in Brevard with Rev. Keith Thompson officiating. Burial will take place at a later date in the Quaker Cemetery in Camden, SC.

If someone wishes to honor Edna by a donation in her name, the family suggests Brevard-Davidson River Presbyterian Church, 249 East Main St., Brevard, NC 28712.
