Belinda retired from AK Steel in 2006 after 30 years of working in the hot strip mill in maintenance and then as a Total Quality System (TQS) Coordinator. She enjoyed working with tools and computers.

We met Bee when she became a wonderful part of Julie's life, and looked forward to talking with her at family gatherings or having lively discussions about a play we had just seen when we four bumped into each other in the lobby of the Schuster. She was a lively conversationalist, a fierce competitor in games, and totally fun to be with. We will miss her twinkly eyes, her ever-present smile, and her abiding interest in all people and numerous topics. She brought great joy to Julie's life and those who were ever in her presence.

I was friends with "Bee" through work and as a neighbor. I will miss our chats as she wranged her dogs past our home. I recall her asking me "How does it feel to be dyslexic perfectionist?" We will keep our fond remembrance safe and warm.

Belinda was always very kind to me when I was a teenager she would give me books to read that she thought I would be interested in and Music she thought I would like I never forgot her having me listen to Joni Mitchell. I still love Joni Mitchell to this day I will always appreciate the kindness she showed me, she was probably the smartest human being I´ve ever met. I will miss her.
