Angela Bell Pachucki

In Loving Memory of Angela Bell Pachucki

May 25, 1954 – August 23, 2025

Angela Bell Pachucki, beloved wife, mother, sister, and “Grandmamommy,” passed away unexpectedly on August 23, 2025. She was surrounded by the love of her husband, siblings, and all five of her children during her final hours.

Born the youngest child of Rita Renzi Bell and Alexander Bolling Bell, who preceded her in death, she was a proud and spirited woman with deep roots and a profound love for her family. A devout Catholic, she lived her faith quietly but fully, letting her values speak through her generosity and fierce devotion to those she loved.

She is survived by her husband, Richard Pachucki. The two would have celebrated 49 years of marriage this coming October. Their partnership set an example to everyone around them, and was marked by laughter and unwavering commitment.

She leaves behind a family knit tightly by her example: two siblings, Peter Bell and Mary Rita Winpisinger; five children, Christopher, Christina Lindeman (Jesse), Michael (Joy), Andrew (Jenna), and Laura; and nine grandchildren, Rita, Genevieve, Audrey, Theodore, Bolling, Iris, Hayden, Daniel, and Grayson.

A passionate traveler and tireless family historian, she traced her roots across oceans. In 2008, she reconnected with relatives in her grandmother’s hometown of Castelluccio Valmaggiore, Italy, a place she visited often and held dear. Her legacy is one of connection: she brought the family together, usually with a carefully planned party and an elaborate, home-cooked meal.

Angela was a force: strong-willed, opinionated, sentimental, and full of love. She had a strong sense of tradition, and left her family with fond memories of Christmas countdowns, matching t-shirts, special trips, unlimited desserts, and a house full of cherished heirlooms. She shopped often and returned almost as much, yet she never let go of the things that truly mattered. And to her, almost everything did.

In honor of Angela’s compassionate spirit and in lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Mowat-Wilson Syndrome Foundation , which works to enhance the lives of people like her grandson Hayden, who are living with MWS.
