On Sunday, January 26, 2025, Bell County Jailer Robin Venable passed away after a valiant and courageous battle with cancer.
​​Bell County Judge Executive Albey Brock appointed Robin's wife Barbara to finish the term. Mrs. Venable says that one of the last things her husband asked her to do before he passed was to finish out his term as jailer in order to finish what he started back in 2022.​​
​
She went on to say: “I have worked alongside Robin, especially during the last year when he got really sick, and I have seen firsthand what it takes to accomplish what he started. I look forward to doing that. I would like to thank Judge Brock for having the confidence in me to allow me to honor my husband’s wishes. I look forward to this challenge and I look forward to serving Bell County.”
