Belle was born December 15, 1922, in Lee's Summit, MO, the daughter of Roy and Nora Gosney Arnett. She was married to Louie Bean for 53 years and resided in Kennewick, WA, all but a few of those.
Their life together was full of outdoor adventures from hunting arrowheads to hunting deer, fishing, camping and traveling in their motor home. With the passing of her husband in 1995, she moved to Louisburg, KS, to spend her remaining years surrounded by the love of her family and friends. Belle was a 50-plus year member of the Eastern Star. Although she had many accomplishments in her life, the greatest was the joy, love, laughter and support she unselfishly gave to all those whose lives she touched. She will be dearly missed.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Roy and Nora Belle Arnett; her husband, Louie; sisters, Rita and Irma; and brothers, Roy and Ralph.
Survivors include her sister, Lucille Walker; son, Jerry Bean; and grandson, Jerry Bean Jr.
Memorial contributions may be made to The Kenneth Arnett Scholarship Fund.
Arrangements: Penwell-Gabel Louisburg Chapel, 120 South Broadway Louisburg, KS 66053. 913-837-4310.
