Belinda Getner

Belcher

Belinda Belcher, revered as a pillar of love, compassion, laughter and bravery, passed away on November 24, 2024, after courageously battling cancer. She was born on November 12,1958 in Harlingen, Tx. to Consuelo and Edward Getner. She was known for her warmth, laughter, and the undeniably loving spirit that she brought into the world.

Belinda is survived by her mother Consuelo (+Edward) Getner, her beloved husband of 49 years Robert Belcher, her daughter Sandra (Polo) Martinez and her son Edward Ray (Tina) Belcher, grandchildren Hayley and Justin Martinez, siblings Norma (Joe) Cantu, Edward (Fermina) Getner, Cynthia (+ Raul) Garza, Sandra (Joe) Rodriguez, and her many nieces and nephews. She is joined in rest by her father, Edward Getner, her nephew Justin Scott Vaughn, and her brother-in-law Raul Garza Jr. along with many other dearly departed. With a hefty family tree consisting of both blood ties and bonds formed from the heart, Belinda's reach was as far as it was wide, and she was cherished deeply by many.

Among Belinda's most significant accomplishments was being a devoted wife and mother to her two children, whom she held as her pride and joy. She served as a paraprofessional for 16 years and helped mold and encourage the lives of so many at Rodriguez Elementary. Even amidst the challenges life brought her way, Belinda never wavered in her compassion for others, especially her husband and family. She continued to support everyone around her and could use a one liner to turn around anyone's bad day. She was a slot machine enthusiast whether in Las Vegas or a local maquinita. The cooking channel was a constant on her television as she had a passion for cooking and baking and couldn't wait for the day to meet Emeril!

Her legacy is one of unyielding kindness and joy. Even when sick or in pain, she never faltered in caring for her loved ones more than she did for herself and had the desire to help others. Her life served as a testament of "No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted." because till this very day those who knew Belinda still feel her giving heart present.
