of Cozahome, AR
December 14, 1940 - December 4, 2021
Nancy Belle Lack Watts, age 80 of Cozahome, Arkansas died Saturday, December 4th, 2021. She was born in Marshall, Arkansas on December 14th, 1940.
My mom loved her traveling childhood with her beloved parents, John and Mabel Hall Lack. By the time she was 12 years old she had lived in 13 states. At a recent family reunion a relative said, "Wasn't that all there were at that time?"
It wasn't all a bed of roses because her sister, Betty Jo and triplet siblings, Connie, Johnnie and Donnie had all passed away by the time Mom was 3 years old, leaving her to be raised as an only child. From a teenager she was raised in Cozahome, surrounded by family and friends. She met a little dark haired boy named Mack (1940-2012) and from this union their #1 son, as she called me, Ricky was born. They lived in various places following the drywall trade and then in 1972 Cozy was home again. At that time she began her real estate career. Nancy Belle loved the hills, creeks, rivers, woods, and folks and enjoyed helping place people with their dream piece of property.
Her most important offer and acceptance was when Jesus made her an offer she did not refuse. It was obvious to all she encountered that His favor was upon her life. Laneta and I, family and friends will miss her for a little while, but all who accept the offer of Christ will see her again!
A Celebration of Memories of Nancy Belle will be held at the Cozahome Church on Saturday, December 18th, 2021 at 1:00 PM. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Cozyhome Church Memorial Fund, 274 Honeycomb Lane, Harriet, AR 72639 or use the following link to donate on the Gofundme page; https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=4283004471827611&id=100003543022235&sfnsn=mo

Hello Ricky and Laneta…I miss y’all! 💔I was sad to hear Nancy Belle passed away - I got an early Christmas card note from Miriam Miller who told me. She really was a special lady, a friend, and a sweet Christian mentor to me. I am really happy for Nancy Belle who has made it to her “mansion just over the hilltop, in that bright land where, we will never grow old….and someday yonder, we will never more wonder, but walk on streets of purest gold.†I have been thinking about the lovely memories I have of your mom, Ricky. Right now I have an image of Nancy Belle in a cute cammo dress one Sunday at Cozahome Church! Take care friends…we will look forward to the day we all meet up in heaven, and until then, we’ll just keep on living and living like Jesus. Love you two!

Rick I believe I only had the pleasure of meeting you once when working for Mrs Nancy Bell she was such a joy to be around always knew exactly what she wanted and by George it was gonna happen just like that but she knew it was God who would give her the desires of her heart and gave Him the credit I learned alot from that beautiful woman and you were her #1 i can't think of anytime i saw her that you were not on her mind and she spoke highly of you I already miss her and your words said it all. May God Bless you and Keep you.
