Miss Bell was an amazing lady, always had a kind word and was a great friend…I worked with her and always had a good time together…I will truly miss her..and miss talking to her on Facebook…now She is safe and healthy in heaven.
Bell was a sweetie. Roger knew her for at least 60 years and I had the privilege to work with her at the Green Wave Cafe for a few years. We had some great times and I have memories that will stay with me forever. Love and prayers to Ashley, Kacey, Greta, Tommy, the grandchildren and all of her family. Bell will be missed by so many.

I never had a day that it wasn’t filled with Bell’s laughter and sweet smile.. life got in the way and I didn’t see her much at all, but when I did see her I always came away filled with a sense of joy and peace seeing her. She was beautiful in every sense of the word. She will be missed and always love by tge ones who were lucky enough to know and love her! Our prayers are with all her family. I pray the Lord give you peace and comfort knowing we’ll see her again! Rest now my friend ! Love you Bell!
