Nadine Bell

Nadine "Viola" Bird Hat Bell, 75, was called home by her father in heaven, her Lord, and Savior Jesus Christ on October 6, 2022. She was born January 25, 1947, in Pryor, MT to Phillip Bird Hat and Anna Wood Tick. She was adopted and raised for season by Harold and Violet (Stops) Enick and family. She went to high school in Edgar, MT, and attended Billings Vo-Tech. Nadine was married to and widowed by Ivan Bell.

Nadine worked as an accountant most of her life. She truly lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures, acts of kindness and did so with her enormous love for God. She was a prayer warrior for the Lord, praying hard every day for all her loved ones. Nadine had the biggest heart and helped anyone she could. She loved talking on the phone and messaging those she loved with encouragements or just wishing them a good day with her "Love You". She enjoyed most of all spending time with her family, just chatting away, and laughing. Nadine especially loved spending time with her favorite person in the world, her grandson "Baby Jesse". She will be remembered sitting in her chair watching her favorite TV shows and just spending time with her grandchildren Angelo Perez, Carmine Stone, Nika Perez, Carlos Perez and Tupeona Pedro.

Nadine made a huge and positive impact on everyone she met. Whether you were sad, angry, upset, happy or just there, she always wanted to make you feel better by saying, "Let's eat!". She had such a love for family that can't be explained but was felt by all she had accepted as family. She has taken in so many brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews, grandchildren, and many in Christ that she often shared her love and support with.

She is survived by her only child, son Jesse Phillip Perez; sister: Lavern Perez; grandchildren: "Baby" Jesse, Angelo, Nika, Carlos, and Jessica Perez; Tessa Chelios, Carmine Stone, Tupeona Pedro, Renae "Tiny" Left Hand; and her favorite niece: Abelina "Abby Girl" Perez. Also surviving are brothers: John (Ruta), Francis (Tanya), Nathan (Veronica), Lewis (Royann) Enick; sisters: Joyce Laforge, Eunice (Al "Champ") TakesTheHorse, Violet "Faye" Enick, Mary (Raven) Price, Tyda Harvey; adopted sons: Jonathan Vicente, Anthony Eugene; adopted daughter: Naomi Nomee; adopted granddaughters: Angel Stewart, Azalea Torralba. With the loving heart she bore, we are certain there are many more she loved and cherishes as famly in life, and as her spiritual families through Christ. Forgive us in our time of grief if we have not mentioned you.
