In the words of her friends and family, Beverly Bell was a wonderful person and her sudden passing at the end of February has left a hole in many hearts and the local community as a whole.
From her days growing up in Cumberland to a 35-year career with the Rolling Hills Local School District and numerous volunteer roles, Bev, as she was known to most, touched thousands of lives.
She just made people better.
The 67-year-old was a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a teacher, a coach, an instructor, a volunteer advocate and, maybe most importantly, a wonderful friend.

For me, Sundays are not only a day for Mass and extended prayer but one of rest from social media. Rather than posting anything remotely controversial, I try to share more irenic fare online. So on Sundays I usually post two reflections on social media. The first is from The Jesuit Post, a sister site of America Media, which offers short and punchy “One-Minute Homilies” from younger Jesuits. (Technically speaking, they are not homilies since they are not done in the context of a Mass, nor are some of the Jesuits ordained; they are instead reflections.)
