Belva was a member of Rogers Chapel Church and also enjoyed attending services at Highland Baptist. She cherished spending time with her family, finding joy in every moment they shared together. Belva had a deep appreciation for the beauty of nature—she especially loved caring for plants and flowers and took great pride in maintaining her pool. Her favorite color was purple, a reflection of her vibrant and warm personality.
