BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – It is with great sadness that the family of Catherine “Cathy” Bell announces her passing after her fight with cancer.

Born in Sewickley, PA, on Monday, November 13, 1961, Cathy was the fourth child of Harry L. Bell and Ruth Barbara Bell (née Sommers). Following her father’s death, the family moved to Sarasota, FL. While working at the Sarasota Herald-Tribune, Cathy met her future husband, Gil Conradis, and the rest, they say, is history.

Settling in Melbourne, Florida, Cathy became involved in the ad specialties industry, starting her own business, YourLogo. Over the years, she actively contributed to the community, even serving as the President of the American Advertising Federation. For nearly 35 years, Your Logo has been a vital part of the Melbourne community, thanks to Cathy’s dedication and entrepreneurial spirit.

Preceding her in death were her father, Harry Lee Bell, Sr., mother, Ruth Barbara Bell, grandparents Harry S. Bell, Irma C. Bell, Ralph J. Sommers, Sr, and E. Neveta Sommers, a brother-in-law, Larry Gill, and a sister-in-law, Sherry Bell.

Those left to honor her memory are her husband, Gilbert E. Conradis, Madison Kluver (Bryce), Christine Messier (Dana), brothers Harry Bell, Jr. and Rik Bell, sisters Karen Gill and Barbie Burnett (Johnny), and one very sad Pomeranian, Ziggy.

Cathy’s life was celebrated on November 2 at Pineapples in Melbourne. In lieu of flowers, donations can be marked to Vietnam and All Veterans of Brevard or another veteran organization close to your heart.
