Her children were the loves of her life. She loved hunting and fishing with her family. She also loved making beautiful quilts and made many family heirlooms over her life, which are cherished by her children and grandchildren. Belva has been active in the LDS church her whole life and has always carried that faith with her throughout her life. Belva’s life has been one of service.
