Belinda Harrington Cockrell, 76, passed away peacefully on February 24, 2026, after a debilitating illness in Sulphur, Louisiana.

Born on August 3, 1949, in Atlanta, Texas Belinda was a woman whose life was defined by love, joy, and unwavering faith. She carried a beautiful smile that could light up any room and a heart that loved fully and without hesitation. To know her was to feel warmth, kindness, and genuine happiness.

Belinda was married to the love of her life, Paul (Bill) Cockrell, for 57 beautiful years. Together they built a life centered on faith, family, and devotion. They made their home in Houston, Texas where they raised their four children and created a lifetime of cherished memories.

She was a proud and loving mother to Michelle Leger, Amy Worednohl (Johnny), Jonathan Cockrell, and Emily Simien (Wesley). Her greatest joy was her family, and she poured herself wholeheartedly into each of them.

A devoted Christian with a strong and steady faith, Belinda lived her beliefs daily through compassion, generosity, and grace. Her love multiplied through generations, blessing her 16 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren, each of whom she cherished deeply.

She was preceded in death by her parents, John J. Harrington and Pauline Harrington, and her beloved brother, Dana Harrington, who was married to Cathy Harrington, who survives.

She also leaves behind many extended family members and dear friends whom she loved greatly and who will forever cherish her memory.

Belinda's legacy is one of joy, steadfast faith, and unconditional love. Though her presence will be deeply missed, the light she brought into this world lives on in the hearts of her family and all who were blessed to know her.

Her laugh, her smile, and her steady faith shaped who we are. We find comfort knowing she is at peace and reunited with those who went before her. We will carry her love with us every day, and we will honor her by loving one another the way she loved us - with our whole hearts.
