Beatrice Bell

of Trumann, AR

July 22, 1939 - January 6, 2024

Beatrice Bell was born July 22, 1939 in Pheba, MS to Homer and Ollie Mae Bell. She raised her 10 children on Centennial Island and taught them all about country living. Her children were raised alongside her extended family, the Moore's and Tipton's on Centennial Island.

She was a woman of faith. Her Christian journey cannot be tracked to her early years due to a fire that consumed records of that part of her life. St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church in Joiner was the church home of record where she took her children to learn about the Lord. After the closing of the church doors, she moved her membership to Mt. Pisby Missionary Baptist Church in Chelford, AR, where she remained until she was called home. Beatrice was an Eastern Star and Usher. She actively attended Sunday School and services. Beatrice enjoyed reading her bible and meditating with God.

Beatrice enjoyed sewing for those she loved. She sewed outfits and made a few prom dresses for her grandchildren. Beatrice enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren, great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren. She was a great pillar of strength and an example of showing how to endure during life's trials and standing tall on faith.

She leaves behind to cherish her memory her sons, Billy (Tracey) Bell and Arthur (Tanja) Bell; daughters, Patsy (Jessie) Lawless and Mary (Eddie) Williams Bell; daughters-in-law, Betty Washington, Andrea English Bell; many loving grandchildren (113), great grandchildren (88), great-great grandchildren (40) and the Tipton and Moore families. She was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Willie Earl Bell, Raymond Bell, Willie Hassel and Herman ''Boo'' Bell; sons, Willie Earl Washington, Roy Bell, Lucas Bell and Lee A Bell and daughters, Patricia Hayes and Ethel Bell.
