October 13, 1919 - July 22, 2011
Lillian Louise Bell Jackson Genardi, 91, died on July 22, 2011 in her daughter's home in Onia, Arkansas.
She was born in Columbia, South Carolina on October 13, 1919 to Thomas Henry and Martha Caroline (Scott) Bell.
Louise lived in California for 40 years where she raised her family and loved working in her beautiful yard. She then moved to Arkansas to live with her daughter Mary Ann Bishop for the last seven years.
Louise had eight children: Nancye Maydole, Kathy (deceased), Mary Ann Bishop, Rose Harrah, Sam Genardi (deceased), Jim Genardi, Bobby Jackson (deceased) and Tim Genardi. She had 16 grandkids, 25 great-grandkids and 9 great-great-grandkids.
Memorial service will be held on July 26, 2011 at 2 p.m., at 386 Rosebud Road, Onia, Arkansas with Bro. Bryan Wilkie officiating.
Roller Coffman Funeral Home is in charge of the arrangements.
Just wondering since Lillian lived in California if she appeared in silent films as a child? and had a brother named Frankie Genardi? There is a silent film child actress named Lilliana Genardi in my website that I have photos of and I came across this obituary while doing research. Wondering if this is the same Lillian Genardi. The child actress was thought to have been born in 1920. Seeing that this Lillian was born in 1919... may be the same person? Feel free to contact me any of the relatives of Lillian :)
Grandma, You were a big part of my life growing up. I will always cherish all the memories and stories you told and the silly little things we use to do when you came to visit us in detroit. God now has a beautiful angel, may you rest in peace. I love grandma!!!! Love Dena
Grandma, Life is but a stopping place, a pause in what's to be, a resting place along the road, to sweet eternity. We all have different journeys, different paths along the way, we all were meant to learn some things, but never meant to stay... Our destination is a place, far greater than we know. For some the journey's quicker, for some the journey's slow. And when the journey finally ends, we'll claim a great reward, and find an everlasting peace, together with the lord.... I love you and will always have great memories of you, may you rest in peace Jimmy
Gram,
I was so glad to be able to spend time with you.
My fondest memory is of you teaching me how
to make a burrito.
Thank You for being in my life
Love to you, your grand daughter Jennifer . <3
God looked around his garden And He found an empty place. And then He looked down upon the earth, And saw your tired face. He put His arms around you, And lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best. He knew that you would never Get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough, And the hills were hard to climb, So He closed your weary eyelids, And whispered"Peace be thine." It broke our hearts to lose you. But you didn't go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home.
Love,
Nathan and Jennea
