Pam's Personal Childhood Web

There are several people in my family that have made me the woman that I am today. Here are some of those people...
1)Nellie G. Bell-Mother My mom has always been there for me. She has shown me tough love when I needed it. She also taught me to never settle for less than what I deserve. 2)Daniel C. Bell, Jr.-Father My daddy has shown me unconditional love from day one. He has taught me the true meaning of family and what it means to have them in your life. 3)Stacy N. Bell-Sister Stacy is my younger sister. She is 3 1/2 years younger with me. We have always been close. She has always looked up to me and I have always felt a special love and bond with her. 4)Daniel C. Bell, III-Brother DC, as was known, was my younger brother. He was the level headed one of the three of us. He was always loving and caring. I tend to find myself with a lot of his traits and qualities. DC passed away in January 2004 at the age of 21.
5)Laura Owens-Great Aunt My Aunt Laura helped raise me. She took care of me when my parents were at work or school. She called me her "Sweetie Pie". Up until the day she died, she was still looking after me and teaching members of the family the right way to do things. When she passed away, she was 108 years young.
6)Willie Ruth and Linwood Brown-Maternal Grandparents Mr. and Mrs. Linwood and Willie Ruth Brown always showed affection and love to their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. I learned about cooking from my grandmother and I learned about sports from my grandfather. They would take all 16 of their grandchildren for the whole summer (something that I probably would never do). They made sure we had full but also were well grounded. I truly miss those summers and cherish the time that I spent with them and my extended family.

  1. Hi Pam, very nice family web. I have two siblings as well, but we're all girls. Sorry about the loss of your brother. How was it growing up with your brother? Even though he was younger than you, did he act like he was older sometimes? I always wish that I had a brother growing up.

  2. Thanks Dorcas. Having a younger brother was a wonderful experience. He never really acted like he was older but when it came to my boyfriends, he did let them know that he was one of my protectors. I had fun going up with him and I truly miss him everyday.

  3. I always find it funny how brothers no matter how much older or younger will always protect. It's good to have that..my sisters were my protectors!
