The entire SMA family is deeply saddened by the loss of Mrs. Lillian Bell, a phenomenal educator and a beloved sister, colleague, and friend to many.

As we surround Mrs. Bell’s loved ones with our prayers, love, and support, we invite the SMA family and community to join us in honoring her life and legacy at her family’s funeral services and the SMA Memorial. Throughout her 19 years of dedicated service to St. Mary’s Academy, Mrs. Bell touched countless lives through her compassion, wisdom and love for our Maryites. Her impact will live on in all who were blessed to know her.
