Beloved Grandma Belle, One Half of the Jock and Belle Show, Dies — Cause of Death Revealed

The influencer grandma you grew to love on social media has sadly died. Grandma Belle, whose life was documented on the TikTok account @thejockandbelle, run by her granddaughter Christina, died on Sept. 12, 2025. Now, the world is left with her videos as an archive of her often comical and heartwarming moments.

Christina shared the heartbreaking news on TikTok just hours after her grandmother’s passing in the early morning of Sept. 12.

While Christina can be credited for bringing Belle and her husband Jock’s 62-year marriage to TikTok, it was Belle who truly stole the show, whether she was driving the golf cart while Jock leaf-blowed the driveway or carrying on lighthearted conversations with her husband. While Christina knew her time with Belle was limited, she didn’t expect her death to come so suddenly. Here are the details on Belle’s cause of death.

Grandma Belle on TikTok died as a result of her progressing dementia, her granddaughter Christina shared in the caption of her announcement video. She clarified that Belle didn’t get sick, but between “the natural progression of the dementia” and the “sudden decline,” she died. In the emotional post, Christina struggled to put her feelings into words, saying, “I can’t even process this,” addin,g “I feel like a part of me left.”

Despite how heartbreaking it is to lose someone you have so much love for, Christina said she found comfort in knowing Belle “isn’t suffering anymore … with pain and not being able to walk.” While it was obvious that Christina and Belle were extremely close, they got even closer over the last year and two months, as Christina spent that time caring for both her grandmother and grandfather.

Aside from breaking the news, Christina has also shared emotional moments from what would become Belle’s final days, including videos of her grandmother resting in a hospital bed at a healthcare facility. Despite her declining health, Belle remained true to herself, even in these weaker moments.

In one clip, she wore a shirt that read, “Ask me about my butthole.” It was proof that Belle was always going to be Belle, no matter the circumstances. That playful energy, paired with the loving grandma vibes she gave off, is what drew so many people to her and left many fans feeling like she was their own grandmother.

In a TikTok shared on Aug. 21, 2025, Christina showed herself and Belle sitting on the back patio, enjoying ice cream outdoors, with the text overlay reading, “Ice cream in silence together outside today.” It seems Belle may have started showing signs of decline in the weeks before her death.

Someone in the comments asked if Jock was OK, to which Christina replied, “No, it’s tearing him up,” and understandably so. Jock and Belle met when they were 14 and were married for 62 years. While her declining health was already hard enough for him to endure, one can only imagine how difficult it is to accept her passing.
