Andrea Bell Obituary
Obituary published on Legacy.com by Humphrey Funeral Services, Inc. on May 2, 2025.
Andrea Christine Bell, a radiant light born on Christmas Eve in 1969, in Fort Bragg, North Carolina, has departed from us on April 23, 2025. Known as simply Andrea to her friends, family, and community in Russellville, Arkansas, she was a woman of immense warmth, resilience, and spirit, radiating love and compassion in everything she did, just as poet Maya Angelou once said, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
Andrea’s journey was a testament to her strength and determination. She faced life with courage, grace, and an unwavering spirit. Even after her divorce, her resiliency never faltered; she continued to be a beacon of hope and inspiration to those around her. Her smile could light up a room and her laughter was infectious. She embodied the words of Helen Keller, “Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved.”
She is lovingly remembered by her brother, Scott Bell. Andrea was preceded in death by her parents, Nova and Garnett Bell. Her radiant spirit will undoubtedly be missed yet, her impact and the memories she left behind will continue to inspire and encourage those who had the privilege of knowing her.
We encourage those who knew Andrea to share their memories and upload photos on her memorial page. The stories of her vibrant life, love, and enduring spirit will continue to inspire us all. As we remember Andrea, let us hold onto the words of Albert Pike, “What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.”

I have a sad news to share. Andrea Christine Bell who attended ISB 1981 ~ 1987 passed away yesterday. She was 55 years old.
She has been undergoing treatment for breast cancer and almost beat it but died of heart attack, according to her longtime friend from teenage years in Arkansas. Thanks to all those who took time to write to her last year. Thank you for helping brighten her last days (her friend’s words). I’ll share her obituary here once it’s posted online.
