Does anyone have a death date for this woman? It would be most appreciated.

Published the last paper at age 80, not 82?
The article says:

"Julia Bell kept working actively for many years. At age 82 she wrote an original article on rubella and pregnancy; she retired at age 86; she kept in touch with genetics until her death at the age of 100."

I think (but am not 100% sure) that the article in question is this one (Bell, J. 1959. On Rubella in Pregnancy. Br Med J. 1959 March 14; 1(5123): 686–688. :

If so, it seems that either the birth year is wrong or the statement quoted above should state her age when this was published as 80, not 82. It would be good if someone who knows more could clarify this.
