In Loving Memory of Isabel "Bella" Grace Hankins

October 20th 2008 – November 6th 2025

To my best friend… my very faithful companion. My soul furbaby

Bella is survived by her loving parents, Amanda and Scott Hankins, and her devoted fur sisters, Remi Sue and Olive Reese.

Special thanks to those who brought so much love and happiness to Bella's life:
Granny Hankins, her favorite napping partner;
Nanny McMillon, with whom she shared countless walks, movies, cuddles, and plenty of "extra" treats;
and Auntie Laurie, her cherished puppy sitter for the last six years, who took her on walks, took many naps, and caregived for her while her mommy worked to pay for her favorite snacky snacks.

Bella is preceded in death by many special loved ones—both people and fur babies—who we know greeted her joyfully at the Rainbow Bridge:
Papaw McMillon, Papaw Hankins, Ginger McMillon (canine), Baby Hankins (feline)

For 17 wonderful years, Bella filled our hearts and home with unconditional love, laughter, and pure joy. She was truly one of a kind.

Smart and spirited, Bella loved to show off her tricks—fist bumps, high fives, barking on command, and her signature "hugs," where she'd leap into your arms. She adored praise, her favorite treats (chicken, peas, and carrots), and cozying up under any blanket she could find.

Her days were full of simple joys: playing hide-and-seek with her mom, sunbathing by the kitchen window to warm her sweet old bones, watching turkey hunts with her dad, and riding in Mom's Jeep with the window down—barking proudly at every vehicle that passed. Pup cups were always a must on store runs.

Bella was the heart of our family, our constant companion, and our source of endless smiles. She will be forever missed but never forgotten.

Run free, sweet Bella. Until we meet again.
