The world is mourning the loss of Alice Bell, former wife of beloved TV personality Al Roker, who passed away at the age of 77.

The heartbreaking news was shared by their daughter, Courtney Roker Laga, in an emotional Instagram post.

A Daughter’s Tribute

Courtney honored her mother’s memory with a touching message, writing, “She was my mother, my heart, and the most loving grandmother to Sky.

I was with her for her last breath, and I will carry her love with me always.”

Her words painted a picture of deep love and loss, resonating with many who knew Alice.

Though the exact cause of Bell’s passing has not been revealed, a previous post from Courtney in February showed her mother using an oxygen tube, suggesting she had been facing health challenges.

A Life Once Shared with Al Roker

Alice Bell and Al Roker were married for 15 years, tying the knot in 1984 and divorcing in 1999.

During their marriage, they adopted Courtney in 1987, building a family that remained connected despite their separation.

Following the news of Bell’s passing, Roker was noticeably absent from Tuesday’s episode of Today.

Meteorologist Dylan Dreyer stepped in for him as he took time to grieve.

Blended Family and Lasting Bonds

Since 1995, Roker has been married to journalist Deborah Roberts, and together, they share two children, Leila and Nicholas.

Despite their divorce, Bell remained an important figure in their family’s story.

Courtney had previously expressed her appreciation for the strong women in her life.

In a 2022 Mother’s Day post, she honored not only Alice but also her stepmother, Deborah, and her mother-in-law, Barbara.

“Happy Mother’s Day to the three most important women in my life,” she wrote, showing the lasting impact of love and family.

Alice Bell’s passing marks the end of a beautiful chapter, but her legacy of love lives on through her daughter, granddaughter, and the memories she created with those closest to her.
