She was a native of Arkansas and also called Indiana home for many years but has called the Coast home since 1999. She lived many years in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas, where she became an accomplished real estate agent. Bel's quick whit and ability to make anyone smile will be sorely missed by many.

She was a devoted wife that became the caretaker of her loving husband until his passing in 1999. After his passing, her time was devoted to her kids and grandkids, and occasionally a trip to the casinos.
