Her favorite past time was eating food and watching television. In her spare time, she loved music too and as soon as the beat started so did she start bopping her head, snapping her no sound finger, to swaying her feet to the music. Belinda was predeceased by her mother Miss Julia Lee Clack Earls in 1985 and father Mr. I J Earls in 1988. Belinda is now resting with many of her grandparents, cousins, aunts, and uncles and many more friends.
