Executive Board
Frances Bell Henry
Chief Executive Officer
For nearly thirty-five years, Frances Bell Henry has helped to continue the legacy of her father,
Robert L. Henry
Vice President
Robert
L. Henry heeded the clarion call to venture into the funeral service business
in 2006 when his wife, Frances Bell Henry, found the demands of maintaining the
legacy-rich family-owned and operated business somewhat overwhelming. Bob
retired from architecture, and at the age of 74 returned to school to earn a
degree in Mortuary Science, ultimately becoming a Licensed Funeral Director. As
Vice President and valued member of the Executive Board, his diversity of life
experiences and deep, caring attitude render him a tremendous asset to the
business and families served by Frank R. Bell Funeral Home. (NYSLFD)
