Maureen A. (Eakins) Bell, 53, passed away suddenly on April 10, 2024, at her home in Brattleboro, VT. Maureen was born on February 4, 1971, to Francis and Patricia (Lawless) Eakins. She attended St. Michael’s Catholic School and Brattleboro Union High School. Maureen worked at various jobs locally, most recently working as a home health aide for Bayada. She held her clients close to her heart. She had just enrolled in a course to receive her LNA certification to further be able to assist her clients.

Maureen’s favorite season was summer. She loved going to the beach and camping. She had a passion for animals and was known to rescue quite a few. She enjoyed reading, puzzles, flowers, but most of all spending time with family, friends, and her pup, Riley. She was also a master of 80’s music trivia, play her one note and she could name that song. On July 18, 1994, she married Rodney W. Bell of Brattleboro, who survives. In 2000, she welcomed her son, Aeron, and two years later her daughter, Sarah. Maureen is survived by her husband, Rodney, her two children: Aeron (Grellia) and Sarah Bell. She is also survived by her sister, Cathy Eakins (Peter) of Brattleboro and her brother, Mark Eakins (Jed) of Florida.

Additionally, she is survived by her sisters and brother-in-laws: Cindy Susse (Eric), Wendy Kendall, and Randy Bell (Shirley) and her very dear friend, Mary Wheeler, including the entire adopted Wheeler family. She was predeceased by her parents, her father and mother in-law, Howard and Ruth Bell, brother in-law, Fred Kendall, and her beloved Golden Retriever, Jake.

There will be a graveside service and a Celebration of Life to follow in early summer (as this was her favorite season) at a date to be announced. In lieu of flowers, please consider giving to Windham County Humane Society.

Arrangements have been entrusted to the care of the Fenton and Hennessey Funeral Home, 55 Westminster Street, Bellows Falls, VT.
