Belinda Minner

Belinda Ann Minner, affectionately known as Mema, was born September 29, 1960 to Ezal and Willie Mae Cammon Triblett. Her life was marked by an extraordinary commitment to family, community, and service, leaving a legacy of love and compassion that touched all who knew her.

As the oldest of her siblings, Belinda embraced a role beyond that of a sister, becoming a guiding and nurturing figure like another mother. She lovingly raised her siblings, and alongside her own children, her nieces and nephews, weaving a close-knit family unit where all were cherished and supported. Her home was a sanctuary where anyone in need was welcomed, and with her warm heart and steadfast motherly instincts, she provided not only shelter but also a foundation of structure and responsibility. Every Sunday was a treasured family day, filled with laughter, games, fellowship, and the creation of lasting memories—an enduring testament to her dedication to nurturing family bonds.

Belinda possessed a giving heart and a powerful, direct spirit, always speaking with good intentions and honesty. She was straightforward yet selfless, a sweet soul whose beautiful smile could light up any room. Her capacity to make everyone feel special and valued was one of her greatest gifts.

Her skills and interests were as diverse as they were heartfelt. Known for her culinary talents, she took her cooking expertise to Lambert’s Cafe in Sikeston, Missouri, where she could make their famous rolls effortlessly, almost with her eyes closed. Belinda also applied her experience in the medical field to care for her mother in times of need, demonstrating her deep sense of responsibility and devotion.

Beyond her work, she was a pillar in her church community. She attended The Free Church in Sikeston, Missouri under the leadership of Pastor Kyle Pernell. She contributed to the kitchen and founded a clothing pantry stocked with clothes, supplies, and essentials to aid those facing hardship. Belinda truly enjoyed serving.

Her love extended profoundly to her family, especially her grandchildren, who meant the world to her. She looked forward to spending every summer with them, sharing moments of joy and affection. Among her many hobbies, she enjoyed cooking for her neighborhood, generously feeding those around her; playing bingo; engaging in daily games of spades; tending to her garden; and loving her frogs in her flowerbeds.

On May 26, 2026, while in Wentzville, Missouri, Belinda transitioned to her heavenly home at the age of 65 years, seven months and 27 days.
