Perhaps you sent a lovely card or sat quietly in a chair. Perhaps you sent a lovely flower. If so, we saw it there. Perhaps you spoke the the kindest words as any friend could say. Perhaps you were not there at all just thought of us that day. Whatever you did to console our hearts We thank you so very much, whatever the part.

Belvia met the love of her life, Terrence T. Payne and were married November 30, 1991. To this union two sons were bom, Christian Michael who preceded his mom in death and Justin Michael.
Belvia's working career began at Fort Gordon as an Electrical Engineer in 1987 until 1992. She moved from Fort Gordon to Savannah River Site (formerly Westinghouse) where she held several positons prior to accepting the position Security Programs Manager at UCOR in Oak Ridge, TN. She served as a professor at The University of Phoenix and Southern Illinois University.
Belvia's service to her fellow man can be seen throughout her life. The gifts and talents that she possessed were used to help others in many ways. She was a mentor to friends, family, coworkers and peers. She devoted her life to her husband and son, but always had time for others. She truly exemplified God's beauty of love and how to live a life that is pleasing to God.
