William J. Bell, age 57, of New Castle, DE, passed away peacefully on May 1, 2021, in his home. Bill was born on September 24, 1963, in Wilmington, Delaware, to Eugene and Rubena Bell. He attended Delcastle Technical High School and later went on to attain his Journeyman's License. He also served a short time in the Army National Guard, where he was able to travel to Alaska and Germany. Bill had such a strong work ethic. He worked for 29 years at M. Davis & Sons as an electrician. Billy spent the majority of his summers as a kid on the Ocean City Boardwalk. He was a member of St. Gabriel's in Old New Castle, where he enjoyed playing Pool, Bocce Ball, and, of course, drinking Budweiser. Bill loved to do his “Sunday Rounds" with his closest friends. He always looked forward to participating in the Ronald McDonald House Charity run on his Harley with his wife, Wendy. Billy will be remembered for his infectious laugh and his inherent way of making everyone feel like family. He truly lit up any room he walked into. Bill is survived by his loving wife of almost 30 years, Wendy Bell; his three girls: Caitlyn Stabley (David), Samantha Bell (Jimmy), and Madison Bell; his older siblings: Bonnie, Pete, Mary, Joanne, and Patty; his nieces and nephews; and his parents-in-law, Rayleen and Tommy. Bill was preceded in death by his parents, Eugene and Ruby Bell. A visitation will be held Friday, May 7, 2021, from 1:30-3 PM at Strano & Feeley Family Funeral Home, 635 Churchmans Rd., Newark, DE 19702 followed by a service in celebration of Bill’s life at 3 PM.
