Jessica Natasha Bell, age 38, received the promise of eternal life on Saturday, December 21,2024 at her new home, following a courageous battle against her heath issues the past few years. Jessica was born on April 20,1986. At St.  Lukes Hospital in Racine, WI to Alan and Corrine (Nee:Kitzke) Smith.

Now, as we all gather here today to celebrate the life of Jessica Smith, a remarkable woman who left us far too soon, we recognize she was a believer in Jesus Christ and as a daily part of her life she exemplified His love by showing that special love to her family, friends, and those around her. Jessica was a loving, devoted wife to Michael Bell Jr. for 10 years, but shared 25 years together, a bond that was perfectly matched, filled with love and laughter. This beautiful union brought to life two sons: Michael Bell 3^rd, Mikahai Bell, and one daughter, Cecelia Annalisa Bell. She was an extraordinary, incredible, caring and proud mother to these three beautiful children, and they were the light of her life.

Jessica attended UW Oshkosh where she studied Extensive Training to be a Caregiver. She also studied at the Caregiver institute.

In her professional life, Jessica played an important role at A Plus Just Like Family Assistant Living Homes, Racine, WI where she worked as a Manager/Caregiver for 12 years.  She loved her career, and her clients loved her just as fiercely.  She was amazing at training the staff, helping to grow the company and providing exceptional care for countless residents over the years.  She is responsible for creating documents used today by this company.  Her life was especially enriched by the love and connections she formed with her clients at the Mt. Pleasant location.  Bringing warmth and compassion to everyone she encountered, she embodied the very essence of what it means to be “just like family,” and her presence will be profoundly missed.  Her legacy of love and kindness will live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know her.

As a cherished friend, Jessica was the kind of person who would give you the shirt off her back.  Her generosity knew no bounds; she was always there for her friends and family, offering support and comfort whenever it was needed.  She loved deeply and passionately, and her heart was as big as her smile.

A true jack of all trades, Jessica could do just about everything, whether it was cooking a delicious meal, steak & lasagna 2 favorites, barbecuing for family gatherings, decorating for special occasions or fixing things around the house, she did it all with grace and skill.  She was also a wonderful listener, always ready to lend an ear and offer advice without ever expecting anything in return.  Her selflessness and desire to help others were defining traits of her character.

Her mother, Corrine Smith and Grandmother, Carolyn Kitzke both precede Jessica in death.

To cherish her memory, she leaves Michael Bell Jr (husband), Alan Smith (father), Chris Myhre (mother–in-law), Preston Smith (brother), Adrien Myhre and William Myhre (brothers-in-law), three children Michael Bell 3^rd, Mikhai Bell, Cecelia Annalisa Bell, six nieces, Arianna, Nevaeh, Brooklyn, Abigail, Alexis, Jazmine ,and seven nephews, Trevor, Aiden, Alex, Aaron, Kai, William Jr., and Aj.

As we remember Jessica today, let us celebrate her incredible spirit, her unwavering kindness, and the lasting impact she has made on our lives. While her time with us was far too short, the love she shared and the memories we hold will forever remain in our hearts.

Rest in peace, Jessica. You will always be remembered, and your love will continue to shine brightly in the lives of your family and friends. Thank you for being you.
