Ashonta Renee Bell

Ashonta Renee Bell was born October 1, 1978 to Ellow and Willogean Bell in Columbus, Ohio. She suddenly departed this life on April 13, 2021.

Ashonta was a fun and outgoing person. She leaves behind two loving daughters, Chamar and Peja. Known by her nickname Shonna, she loved being surrounded by family. She made sure it was never a dull moment by always hosting cookouts and family gatherings at her house. There was always a new recipe or restaurant she wanted to try. She loved spontaneous road trips and vacations. You could always count on her to have the sweetest smelling perfume.

There was nothing in life she loved more than her granddaughter Cailyn. She spent most of her free time video chatting her and shoe shopping with her. When she was at home, she loved cuddling with her dogs. She was an avid Pittsburg Steelers fan, and always watched the games.

Shonna worked in the healthcare field as a Home Health Aide which she loved dearly.

Shonna was sure to keep a smile on everyone’s face. To know her was to truly love her. She will be dearly missed.
