her life as Jesus would. It became apparent that the Savior was walking with her at every moment. Her infectious smile, tender heart, and extraordinary spirit was an incredible example to every person who was blessed to know her. In her time on this earth Nellee loved and lived as Jesus did, and will continue to do so heaven-side. Nellee's faith remained at the forefront of her incredible fight with cancer. In the summer of 2023, she was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her knee. In August she received a rotationplasty and healed better than expected. Nellee had a rapid recovery and quickly went back to dancing through life. Within a few months of her surgery, the cancer metastasized and spread to her lungs. She worked hard to regain the full range of motion in her foot in order to use her prosthesis. On New Years Eve, she proudly reached her goal and cried tears of joy to complete the last motion she needed to be able to use her prosthetic leg fully. Despite the challenges life presented, Nellee never lost her smile or sense of humor. She loved to freak people out with her cute backwards foot, show off her funny faces, and make people laugh with her signature eyebrow wave. Her radiant smile and beautiful light captured the hearts of many as she shared her journey with the world. Throughout her rotationplasty, prosthesis fitting and lengthy medical treatments, Nellee's joy and faith remained steadfast. She inspired everyone to be "Tough as Nellee'' and live life to the absolute fullest. To know Nellee is to know genuine love. Her deep love for her family and friends was unending. Nellee always hugged a little tighter, smiled a bit brighter, and made each moment a lot more special. She hugged with a purpose and healed others' hearts with her light. Nellee is survived by her parents, Heath and Megan, her four sisters Kylee (18), Kortnee (15), Lyndee (13), Elsee (10) and her favorite brother Kaleb (16), her sweet dogs Poppy, Molly and Moose, her grandparents Jim and Linda Jones (Arizona) and Dean and Susan Bell (Vernal, UT), her large extended family and countless friends. She is preceded in death by her uncle Jeram Dean Bell, cousin Lily Ann Schellenberg, and all of her great grandparents.
