A few years later she met the love of her life, Bill Bell.  They were married for 63 years. Together they raised three daughters. Tootie spent her summers at their family lake cabin at Priest Lake for over 48 years.   She loved her cabin and entertaining the neighbors, family, and friends. Equally important were her 2 grandchildren.  They spent many summers with their nana at the lake.   Huckleberry picking was another summer tradition.  Huckleberry jam, pancakes, and pies were a special summer treat for her family.  Tootie also enjoyed traveling.  She traveled the world and experienced many adventures.  One of her favorites was the polar bear excursion in Manitoba, Canada. Gonzaga basketball was another part of her life.  She enjoyed watching the games with her, husband Bill. Tootie loved to shop at Northtown.  She never left a store without a sack.  And finally she was well known for her practical jokes especially around Halloween.  Tootie is survived by her husband, Bill Bell: her brother, Jack O'Neil (Erika) Seattle,  3 daughters, Linda Dahmen (Rick), Peggy Lynch, Patty Bell, granddaughter Kayla Dahmen (Jeff Romane), grandsons Charlie Dahmen, Parker White, and Evan Lynch,  great grandson Harrrison Michael Romane, great granddaughter Kendall Charlie Romane.  A special thanks to the nursing staff, Aleshia and Lisa at Royal Park Retirement Center for their wonderful care and compassion during her stay there.
