Sabrina Michelle Bell

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Sabrina Michelle
Bell. Her family wants to thank all of the family and friends who have reached out with
condolences as we try to make sense of this tragedy. Your love and support means so much.
Sabrina was born in Enid, OK on September 21, 1970, to Eula Mae (Burns) and Donald Patrick
Bell. She was born two years after her older sister Coretta Lynn. Donald’s military career took
the family to live in several cities across the US, with much of her adolescence being spent in
Southern California, where her younger brother, Clayton Darnell, was born and joined the
family. The family returned to Enid in 1987 and Sabrina graduated from Enid High School in
1988.
It was ten years later, in 1998, when Sabrina, as well as her mother and sister, left Oklahoma
and moved to central Texas, settling in Austin. It was in Austin where she became a mother,
giving birth to her son, Jacob Riley, in 2001. Sabrina passed at her home in Austin, on December
15, 2023, after battling years of health issues.
Sabrina was an amazingly creative thinker and a talented artist. From the visual arts to the
theatrical arts to culinary arts, Sabrina was able to create what she wanted out of almost
nothing anywhere she was. She wasn’t just the “MacGyver” of the family, she also sang like an
angel and was a sympathetic ear to all who needed it.
Sabrina leaves her son, mother, father, sister, brother, niece, nephews, and a seemingly endless
number of other family and friends to carry on her love. She was a loving and protective
mother. She was a voice of reason. She was our “Bina.”
Sabrina’s spirit lives on in the secret language she shared with her family, in her son’s creativity
and intellect, in her nephews’ unexpected kindness and unassuming sense of humor, in her
niece’s ingenuity, in her dad’s smile, in her mother’s love and through the fierce love and
support she extended to countless friends she called brother and sister.
Sabrina will be laid to rest surrounded by friends and family in Enid on December 28 th . Her
Celebration of Life will be held at New Light Baptist Church, 1223 West Maple, 73703, beginning
at 1 PM. Immediately after the ceremony, Sabrina will be laid to rest at Memorial Park
Cemetery, 6405 Memorial Drive, Enid, 73701. Following the internment of the casket, a repast
will be served back at the church. All are welcome to attend.
The family will host a celebration of life event in Austin after the first of the year, for her Texas
friends who are unable to make the services in Oklahoma, with details forthcoming.
