Belva graduated from Ragsdale High School in 1951.  She married the love of her life, Bob, on June 27, 1954.  Her two great loves were her Lord and her family. She accepted the Lord at a Billy Graham crusade in the early 1950’s. She was an example of genuine Christian faith to all who knew her.  She was a faithful member of Trinity Church for over thirty years.  She taught children’s Sunday School and led in many different roles.  She had previously been a member of Sixteenth Street Baptist Church and touched many lives there.
