Lula Belle McDaniel Jansen Danley of Joaquin, Devoted Wife, Loving Mother, Beloved Grandmother and Great Grandmother fought a good fight, finished her course, and kept the Faith.  Born in Joaquin, Texas on January 5, 1939, she passed from this Earth to her Heavenly Home on February 2, 2022 in Tyler, Texas.  Miss Lula Belle was a graduate of Joaquin High School, Class of 1957.  At the young age of 9 years old, Lula Belle purposed in her heart to serve the Lord and offered her praise through her beautiful alto singing voice and piano playing.  She was known throughout Shelby County Baptist churches for her music, chicken and dumplings and chocolate pie.  She was a church pianist or choir member for almost 75 years and enjoyed every moment of that time.  She was a faithful member of Logansport Baptist Church for many years and loved her church family and fellow prayer warriors.  Lula Belle enjoyed her job at Center Wal-Mart, where she retired after 20 years, and made so many friends, both, coworkers and customers.  Lula Belle’s true heart, tho, was her family whom she adored and loved unconditionally.
