Oviedo, FLDanielle Nicole "Nikki" Churchwell-Bell of Oviedo, Florida, transitioned from her earthly home to her Father's heavenly mansion Monday, Jan. 23, 2023.
Nikki was born Feb. 5, 1980, in Sandusky, to Franklin Churchwell and Mary Harris-Churchwell. Nikki accepted Christ as her personal savior at an early age and leaned and depended on Him throughout her life as a source of strength and guidance. She was a member of Ebenezer Baptist Church, Sandusky, and later Rockhill Baptist Church in Florida.
Nikki married the love of her life, Freddie Bell, on May 28, 2005. Their love is timeless and gifted us all with their two amazing children, Taylor Bell and Tyler Bell (TNT the Dynamic Duo). Nikki dedicated her life to being the best wife, phenomenal mother, and an encourager and uplifter of family and friends.
Nikki was a proud 1998 graduate of Sandusky High School, Bowling Green State University (Bachelor's in Criminal Justice), and University of Phoenix (Master of Business Administration). She spent the bulk of her career shining in management at Wal-Mart where she touched countless lives as Ms. Danielle. Nikki was the Founder of TNT Creations alongside Taylor and Tyler putting smiles on many faces with their custom tumblers and apparel. Nikki partnered with her husband at the helm of TNT Transportation and 4 Bells Logistics. Nikki was a proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Epsilon Omicron (Eleven Images of Excellence) and R E Williams Chapter #54 Order of the Eastern Star PHA.
