Varry Darnell Bell, Sr., beloved father, brother, grandfather, and friend,

passed away peacefully on April 8, 2025, in Salisbury, Maryland, just days before

his 64th birthday. Born on April 17, 1961, in Accomac County, Virginia, Varry

was the son of the late Moveta Justice, Terry Justice, and Hessie (Junior) Fletcher.

Varry was a proud graduate of Arcadia High School Class of 1979. He furthered

his education at Eastern Shore Community College, where he earned his

Machinist Certification; a stepping stone that led to a position with Newport News

Shipbuilding. His strong work ethic carried him through five years there, followed

by fifteen years at Siemens Automotive. Later in life, Varry became a successful

entrepreneur, running his own business, Final Touch Landscaping.

In 1981, Varry answered the call to serve his country by joining the United States

Army-a mark of his dedication and courage. He was a man of deep faith who

enjoyed reading the Bible, with Psalms 23 and 51 holding special meaning to him.

In 2010, Varry accepted Evangelist Rousell Thomas as his personal (Spiritual)

mentor. Through this mentorship, Varry connected with Restoration Christian

Church of Virginia, in 2021, under the headship/leadership of Apostle Charlie

and Prophet Vikki Ammons and Campus Pastors Ray and Danette Miller. In that

same year, Brother Varry Bell eventually submitted his life and accepted Jesus

Christ as his personal LORD AND SAVIOUR.

Varry had a passion for life and simple joys; he loved shooting pool, playing softball, and

spending time with his family. He was known for his strength, generosity, and his warm

spirit that touched everyone he met.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Moveta Justis, Terry Justice, and Hessie

Fletcher; sisters, Faye Bell and Auletha Jones; his son, Hezekiah Bell; brother-in-

law, Tommy Mason; and his uncle, George Bell, Jr.

Left to cherish his memory are: six daughters, Terrall Steele, Nitoyia Bell, Renell

Bell, Shannon Plummer, Jada Shannon (Bell), and Nariah Bell; four sons, Tony

Collins, Varry Shannon (Bell), Jr., Juston Shannon (Bell), and Jeremiah Shannon

(Bell); seven sisters, Connie Marshall, Avon Mason, Edwina (Charles) Johnson, Una

(Edward) Tucker, Diane Kellam, Marian Hall, and Elaine Satchell; five brothers,

Donnie Bell, Kerry Bell, Lurell Justice, Marvin Clayton, and Maurice Fletcher;

two brothers-in-law, Marvin Davis and Orlander Jones; twelve grandchildren; six

great-grandchildren; special niece, Saadia Davis; special friends, Alice Bell and

Heather Kelems; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

Varry's life was one of resilience, faith, and love. He will be dearly missed but

never forgotten.
