Ethel Tunnell Obituary

Belle Tunnell fell asleep in death July 12, 2020 at the age of 84.

A loving, caring and hospitable person who will be fondly remembered by all who shared her life. Belle met her lifelong sweetheart and married him in 1954 and shared the next 61 years together. Living a wonderful life with each other and raising their 3 children and loving their 3 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren.

In 1966, she began the most important relationship of her life as a dedicated worshiper of Jehovah God, to whom she was faithful and loyal until her death. She had the strong hope brought out in Acts 24:15, "And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a Resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous." She shared this hope with all who had lost a loved one in death along with her hope of seeing her beloved John again sharing eternity together on a Paradise earth as promised by God. John 3:15, 16; 1 Corinthians 15:26; Job 14:14, 15.

Belle is survived by her 3 children, 3 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.
