Belle was born in Sennidal, Norway, the second child of Aslak Gunderson and Tharan Pedersdotter. She was christened Ingeborg Andrea Gunderson. Later in life she adopted the anglicized name Isabel, or Belle.

The Gunderson family immigrated to Baldwin, Wisconsin in 1868, where they became members of the Rush River Church in River Falls, and later its branch the North Rush River Lutheran Church in Baldwin.

The family moved to the Dakota Territory in 1880, settling in what would become Walum, North Dakota, south of Hannaford. Her father donated a portion of his land for the building of St. Olaf Lutheran Church and cemetery.

About 1803-4, she married Albert e. Shue from Cooperstown. In Jan 1905, she gave birth to daughter Florence A. In 25 Oct 1888, she gave birth to daughter Nettie Eveline. Nettie was christened in St. Olaf Church with Aslak Gunderson and the church pastor and his wife as the witnesses.

In the winter of 1898-9, Belle developed a cold which turned into pleurisy and pneumonia, from which she died 18 Jan 1899. While her funeral was held in the Congregational Church in Cooperstown, she was buried in the cemetery of the recently build St. Olaf Church.
