Terra Maureen Bell-Smith, 31

On Friday, March 24, 2006, Terra Maureen Bell-Smith, 31, passed away unexpectedly at her home in Las Vegas.

Terra's generous and kind spirit will be deeply missed by her family and friends.

Terra was born in Reno, Nov. 18, 1974, and moved with her family to Las Vegas when she was 4 years old. She had an active and athletic childhood. Terra graduated from Bishop Gorman High School in 1993.

She then attended the University of Nevada, Reno, where she was active in the Pi Beta Phi Sorority. After graduating with a degree in business administration in 1998, Terra returned to Las Vegas to pursue a career in accounting.

Terra leaves behind her husband, Wayne; her parents, Terry and Linda Bell of Whitefish, formerly of Las Vegas; half sisters, Tracy, Brenda and Theresa; and a very large contingent of relatives who loved her in Reno, Las Vegas, California and Montana. She also leaves behind the motley group of dogs she loved so much.

Terra's friends and family gathered for a memorial service March 29 at St. Joseph, Husband of Mary, Roman Catholic Church, located at 7260 W. Sahara Ave., Las Vegas, NV 89117.
