Ada Dawn Bell

Ada was born on Oct. 8, 2014. At first, we believed she was like any other baby, but it soon became clear that she was, in fact, a fairy. It wasn’t her dainty stature or rosy cherub cheeks that gave it away. Nor was it her sky-blue eyes and wispy blonde hair. We knew Ada was a fairy because of her brave heart and mystical powers. These powers, though subtle at first, soon became undeniable. Ada did not wield great magic to move mountains or command storms. Instead, her power lay in the quiet moments where her gentle spirit could really shine. Flowers seemed to bloom brighter in her presence. Animals were drawn to her soft, kind soul. Music (which was one of her favorite things), sounded even more beautiful when she was around. Knowing that fairies don’t live as long as people, we decided we needed to share as much of the world as we could with her. Together we rafted down mighty rivers. We took long road trips along beautiful coastlines, through mysterious deserts and mystical forests. Ada loved the great outdoors and one of her favorite things was to chill in a hammock under the canopy of trees. (Another indication that she was definitely a fairy.) She was also a world-class snuggler and everyone was always fighting over who got to cuddle with her. When we traveled with Ada to far-away lands we realized that no matter the beliefs the residents held or language they spoke, everyone in the world seemed to understand “fairy.” Ada brought out the best in people. She could break down any barrier with her gentle smile and soulful eyes. She always reminded us that there’s more good in the world than bad. Wisdom beamed out of her even though she never uttered a word. When Ada was around, kindness and compassion soared. Her easy-going nature was contagious and before we knew it, she had taught us much more than we ever could her. She was perfect and we loved everything about her. Although 10 years is a long time for a fairy to live, it still feels like she left much too soon. Ada was adored by all, but especially by her amazing team of helpers. To her teachers, paras, therapists, doctors, and more: Thank you for making sure she was always included in the fun. We could not have kept our fragile little fairy as healthy and happy as she was without each and every one of you. Thank you to our wonderful friends and family for your never-ending support, for seeing her value, and for always cheering us on. Ada was preceded in death by her sister, Emma, who was also a magical fairy. It seems that some souls just can’t stay apart for long, and it gives us great comfort to imagine our two beautiful girls together again, running wild and free. She is survived by her parents, Justin Bell and Rebecca (McCarroll) Bell; her big brother and ultimate protector, Isaac Bell; grandparents Roline Kapscos, Kathy Dawn Lamb, David and Lori Bell; as well as lots of aunts, uncles, and cousins, both related and honorary. We will have a celebration of Ada’s life on Saturday Feb. 22 at 2 p.m. at the Rockville town park and community center, 43 E Main Street, Rockville Utah, 84763.
