Bernard "Bernie" J. Fell, 93, went to be with the Lord on November 13, 2023 surrounded by his loving family. He was the husband and soulmate of Shirley L. Fell for 63 years prior to her passing in March 2021. Bernie spent the last seven years of Shirley's life caring for her as she struggled with Alzheimer's.

Bernie was a hard-worker who was willing to help anyone who needed assistance.

Bernie loved to travel and camp with his wife and family. Bernie and his wife were blessed with many enjoyable years of camping with Bernie's twin brother and sister-in-law all over the United States. Besides traveling, Bernie's other love was football. He cheered for the Buckeyes and Steelers! Bernie never missed an Ohio State football game on TV and was a season ticket holder of the Pittsburgh Steelers for over 50 years. Bernie leaves a huge hole that can't be filled in the hearts of everyone who knew him. Bernie is survived by his children, Debby (Luke) Fritz of Valencia, Lisa (Andrew) Ecklund of Coatesville, PA, Brian (Antonie) Fell of Butler, and Scott Fell of Tionesta, PA, and six grandchildren, Meghan (Ian) Capcara, Matthew Fritz, Emily Ecklund, Luigi Fell, William Fell, and Sophie Fell, as well as many nieces and nephews.
