Obituary

Mrs. Evelyn "Doc" "MeMaw" Rhodes Belcher was born on January 4, 1942 in Newton County to the parentage of the late Mr. Noel Rhodes Jr. and Mrs. Rosie Lee Rhodes. She married Mr. Willie James "Doc" " Rope" "Boot" Belcher on May 2, 1964.

She joined Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church in Mansfield, Georgia at

an early age and was a constant bright light at church. She

praised God in all four corners of the building-the right side, the

left side, the center aisle and as everyone knows, from the choir

stand. Sometimes, mind you, in keeping with her duties as a

cheerleader for God, she'd walk up and "tap" a pastor or a singer

on the shoulder... all to let this person know that he or she was

doing a good job. She retired from C. R. Bard after seventeen

years, then worked as a dietitian at several Daycare Centers in

Newton County.

.

One grandchild preceded her in death Ms. Brandace Marquita Leslie.

Memories of her will be cherished by her devoted husband; Mr. Willie James Belcher, three daughters; Mrs. Cheryl "Sandy" Hill, Mr. & Mrs. Darrell (Lisa) "Lisa Mae" Baker, Mr. & Mrs. Frank (Cindy) "Cimmachelle" Morgan, five grandchildren; Brandon Marquel Leslie, Candace Nicole Leslie, Darrius Terrell Baker, Ashley Nichelle Morgan and Christopher DaRel Baker, (just in case you didn't know, allQrandchildren belonging to Sister Belcher were called "Boogers" one step-_g_randson, Victor Rashad Hill, two brothers; Mr. & rs. Jessie (.Pierina) Rhodes, Mr. & Mrs. Marion (Margaret) Rhodes, two sisters, Mr. & Mrs. Robert (Irene) "Reena" Winbush and Ms. Yvonne (Bunny) Jackson, one devoted family friend, Mr. James Jackson, and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. She was also eagerly anticipating the arrival of her great grandchild, Jordan

Jarrod Avery.

We Will All Miss You

I'
We will miss you very much, your smile and even your sweet touch. Things will be different without you,
but we all understand that God has something for you to do.
We will all miss your smiling face but we will no lon~er cry
because we all know you're tn a better place, even though you're gone, deep down in our hearts,
the thought of you will never depart and although things will never be the same,
the memories of you will always remain.
