Belinda was a true original, a woman who lived life on her own terms and marched confidently to the beat of her own drum. She found joy in the simple things, whether she was crocheting, shaping ceramics, tending to her garden and flowers, or canning. Belinda was known for her love of jewelry and was rarely seen without several pieces that reflected her unique style. She had a strong love of animals and devoted herself to caring for the many different animals that shared the farm with her and Paul in West Mansfield. Belinda cherished traveling with her husband, especially to the coastal shores of Maine and North Carolina, where she found peace and comfort in the ocean. Belinda was also a proud member of the Piqua Shawnee Tribe.
