Pamela Jayne Toussaint Bell

Pamela Jayne Toussaint Bell passed away in Las Vegas, Nevada on Friday, September 1, 2023 at 76 years old. She was born 26 May, 1947 in Canton, Ohio. 

She lived in Las Vegas most of her life and married the love of her life, Walter Lloyd Bell, on 30 December, 1971. He was Clark County Under Sheriff at the time and they had two daughters together - Ashley and Courtney. They had a love story like no other and our only solace is that they will be reunited again in heaven.

Pamela was involved in many creative ventures throughout her life including creating miniatures and dollhouses, doll making, refinishing antiques, color analysis and make up, and making and selling gourmet chocolates. When her husband retired from law enforcement, they went into the women’s shoe business and ended up owning 13 stores in the hotels. Pamela went on to become an aesthetician and they had a family salon business where her daughters Courtney did hair and Ashley did nails.

Pamela’s greatest joy was becoming a grandmother shortly after her husband’s passing. She loved her grandchildren so much and had fun planning cozy gourmet dinners, game nights, trips to the beach and Zion, story telling, and sharing so many precious memories with them.

Her grandchildren were her inspiration in becoming a children’s book author. She wrote a 10-book series called “The Baily Triplets”, each one teaching a valuable lesson in rhyme.

She was a loving, devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. Her beautiful soul, unique style, amazing cooking, infectious laugh, and her very essence will be forever missed. She was preceded in death by her father, Richard "Dick" G. Toussaint and his wife Gladys; her sister Jill Lorraine Toussaint; brother Gregory Toussaint; and husband, Walter Lloyd Bell, who passed away 15 Jul 2006.  She leaves behind her five heartbroken grandchildren and her two daughters, who have lost the heart and soul of their family.

A funeral service for Pamela was held Monday, September 11, 2023 at Palm Downtown Mortuary, 1325 North Main St, Las Vegas, NV 89101. Following the funeral service was a committal service at Palm Downtown Cemetery.
