A cornerstone of the service industry, Evie made her mark in food, beverage, and hospitality, where her lively spirit brought joy to countless lives through her warm smiles and unwavering dedication.

Evie's passions extended far beyond her professional life. An avid gardener, she found solace and joy in nurturing the vibrant life that blossomed under her careful hands.

Whether it was fishing on a sunny day on Lake Pend Oreille or tending to her flourishing garden, she embraced every moment with enthusiasm and grace.

 Evie is survived by her loving husband, Gary Bell, who stood by her side through thick and thin. She shared her life with her adoring daughter, Shannon, and her sons, Wiley and Nick, each of whom inherited her fierce love and zest for life. Her family also includes daughter-in-laws Annie and Erin and son-in-law AJ, who completed the beautiful tapestry of her family.
