Life Reflections

Oral Bell Lewis, 72, daughter of Ford Snipes and Isiah Coakley, was born on February 21, 1953 in Georgetown, South Carolina. She departed this life at St. George Healthcare Center in St. George, South Carolina on September 14, 2025.

Oral Bell attended the public schools of Williamsburg County, South Carolina. Oral Bell visited various churches during her lifetime.

As a young child, she helped her grandparents on their farm. During her early adult years, she moved to the Bronx, NY. She later returned home and became employed as a housekeeper within the Myrtle Beach area, until her health failed.

Oral Bell had a heart of gold, but she did not mind speaking her mind. She would give you the shirt off her back, if you needed it.

Oral Bell was preceded in death by: her husband, J.D. Edward Lewis; her parents; her grandparents, Manny and Mary Jane Ford, who raised her.

Oral Bell leaves to cherish her precious memories: her two brothers, Willie Snipes Jr. of Bishopville, SC and Isiah (Marcia) Cokley of Conway, SC; two sisters, Gladys (Jule) Pope and Linda Cokley; a special friend, Chris Cunningham; a special cousin, Carrie White; along with a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

The family will be receiving family and friends at 180 Fair Lane, Georgetown, SC.

All arrangements and professional services have been entrusted to Henryhand Funeral Home of Andrews, SC. 843-354-2292.
