January 10, 1959 - November 28, 2025
Debra Ann Stone passed away peacefully on Friday, November 28, 2025, in Mountain Home, Arkansas. She was born on January 10, 1959. She was raised by her parents, Kenneth and Helen (Davis) Stone, along with two sisters, Cindy and Cathy, and two brothers, Kenny and Bob. She married Barry Bell on March 10, 1977, and from that union, they shared two boys, Adam Bell and Joshua Bell.
Debra lived in Salt Lake City, Utah, and Omaha, Nebraska, before joining her Mother, Helen, in Arkansas, where she spent her remaining years. She loved crafting, decorating for the holidays, and time spent with family; her nieces and nephews loved referring to her as ''Little Debbie.'' She worked in a variety of places while living in Arkansas, but thoroughly enjoyed working at The White River Campground and Cabins. She always enjoyed the outdoors; she loved cooking and loved playing pitch at the Stone Family reunions.
Debra is survived by her sons Joshua Bell, Adam Bell (Katie); three granddaughters, Reagan, Ella, and Alyssa, and two great-granddaughters, Taniyah and Aurora, sister Cindy (Ted) Horsley, Brother Ken (Jane) Stone, numerous nieces and nephews, and a large extended family. She was preceded in death by her parents, Kenneth and Helen Stone, sister Cathy Lewis, and brother Robert Stone.
It was Debra's wishes to be cremated and her ashes spread over the Buffalo and White River, which she loved and found peace at. It was also her wishes to have no memorial services at this time. In Lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to The Hospice House in Mountain Home, Arkansas.
