In Loving Memory of Charity Beallis and Her Beloved Children

In Loving Memory of Charity Beallis and Her Beloved Children

Bonanza, Arkansas has been left shaken, heartbroken, and forever changed by a tragedy that words can scarcely begin to describe. On Wednesday morning, the Sebastian County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the devastating loss of 40-year-old Charity Beallis and her two precious children, whose names have not yet been publicly released. Their lives were cut short in an unimaginable act of violence, and a small, tight-knit community is now mourning three souls gone far too soon.

What happened inside that home on 1st Avenue has sent waves of grief through Bonanza and beyond. Deputies responded around 9:30 a.m. after a call requesting a welfare check, and with the assistance of workers at the residence, law enforcement entered the home—only to discover the heartbreaking scene no one could have prepared for. All three appeared to have suffered gunshot wounds, and their bodies have been sent to the Arkansas State Crime Lab in Little Rock for autopsies as investigators continue piecing together what led to this tragedy.

In the wake of this loss, friends, neighbors, coworkers, and loved ones are grappling with deep sorrow and disbelief. Charity was known as a devoted mother, a kind spirit, and a woman who touched the lives of everyone around her. She was a figure of warmth, compassion, and strength—someone who put her children first in all things and who carried herself with a quiet, steady love that radiated through her family. Her children were described by those who knew them as bright, sweet, full of promise, and deeply cherished. Their absence leaves an irreplaceable void in the hearts of many.

As the Sebastian County Sheriff’s Office continues interviewing witnesses, serving search warrants, and gathering every available detail, the community must now face the heavy burden of mourning and healing. While answers may emerge in the coming days, nothing will ever undo the pain of losing three lives filled with love, laughter, and endless potential.

In moments like these, Bonanza stands together—leaning on faith, family, and community as they honor the memories of Charity and her children. May their lives be remembered not for the tragic way they ended, but for the joy they brought, the love they shared, and the impact they made in their short time on this earth.

To Charity, a devoted mother and beautiful soul—

To her two children, innocent lives taken far too soon— May you rest in eternal peace.

May those who loved you find strength in your memory.

And may the community of Bonanza continue to hold one another close through this heartbreaking time.

Forever remembered. Forever loved.
