Daniel P Bell

Daniel P Bell, 64, passed away peacefully at home with family on August 5, 2021 in Cincinnati, Ohio after battling esophageal cancer for 3 years.

Dan was born in Cincinnati to John L Bell and Carol Westheider on November 21, 1956 where he graduated from Moeller High School and continued to study theology and philosophy at the University of Dayton. He went on to teach religion at Elder High School where he worked for 29 years.

Dan loved teaching and was always studying to give his students the best education he could provide. Even while battling cancer, he continued to teach at Elder and was always excited to create new lesson plans for the following year. Dan loved to travel and made sure his children saw as much of the world as they could. He lived out the Marianist value of building community everywhere he went, building strong relationships and learning more about Christ through others.

He was survived by wife Ellen Bell, sons Jon, Justin, and Brandon Bell, daughters Nicole and Kristen Bell, and three grandchildren Daniela, Francis, and Madelina.

The celebration of life will take place in the Elder Schaeper Center 4005 Glenway Ave on Thursday August 12, 2021 from 5-8pm. The funeral service will be Friday August 13, 2021 at 10am at St. Dominic 4551 Delhi Pike Cincinnati, OH 45238.
