My condolences to the Bell family during this time of sorrow.I first met Margaret when she was employed by Belk’s Department Store downtown Columbia. I believe she was the store’ s first full time African American salesperson . Later, she and her late husband became members of Jones Memorial A.M. E. Zion Church ,where I am a member.She was a person to be admired . May she rest in peace.

My deepest love and regards to all of Sister Bell’s family and friends. I came to know her through my mother, Loraine Ingram, and I’m so glad I did. I could always feel her love and care, and she certainly gave me much joy and laughter. I’m sad I won’t be in attendance physically, but I am absolutely honoring and celebrating her beautiful life.
I love you much, Sister Bell. ❤️🙏🏽
