Jacqueline Annette Bell

Jacqueline Annette (Cochran) Bell of Blue Springs, Missouri, passed away peacefully on October 11, 2025, at her sister's home in Kansas City, Missouri. She was 76 years old. ACG Hospice provided tender and loving care prior to her passing.

Jacqueline was born December 15, 1948, in Independence, Missouri, and was the second of two children born to Richard and Marjorie (Sintz) Cochran.

Jackie spent her life serving others in the medical services field and was a patient, knowledgeable and loving care giver. She attended high school in Beavercreek, Ohio, and received professional nurse's training at Penn Valley Community College (LPN license) in Kansas City, Missouri.

Her great joy was her family, including her daughter Kristina, and her son-in-law Leslie; her grandchildren and their families; and her sister. An important part of her extended family was her Arabian horse, Nachon, which she adored, and her cats and dogs who shared her life. She was a dedicated supporter of animal welfare charities.

Jackie is survived by her daughter, Kristine; her son-in-law Leslie; her granddaughter, Jacqueline Valentine and her husband Justine; grandson T. J. Taylor and wife Maranda; great granddaughter Rosalee Taylor (who was a particular light of her life); and sister Diane Dickson; as well as cousins, nieces and nephews.

Jackie attended the Blue Springs Christian Church and had many dear friends who shared her love and faith in that close community.

Cremation is planned with possible services to be held at a later date.
