Evelyn N. Belcher

Evelyn Belcher entered the Joyous Gates of Heaven on Saturday October 29, 2022 after a long life of Love and Adventure.

A memorial service will be held at 3:00PM, on Thursday, November 3, 2022, at Covington Memorial Wesleyan Church in Reidsville. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service, from 2:00PM-3:00PM, at the church and other times at Evelyn’s home.

She was preceded in death by her parents: Joe and Mary Bell Wilhoit, brothers: Ed and John Wilhoit, sisters Rosa Mae (Clayton) Wilson, Hazel (Gip) Qweener, Georgia (Lonnie) Lawson, Mary Ruth Wilhoit and her one true love James (Jim) Belcher.

Survivors include son James (Sonya) Belcher, granddaughter Eliora Belcher, grandson A.J. Belcher, numerous beloved nieces, nephews, cousins, and her great great niece Georgia Rene Land who brought her tremendous joy. She has graciously given her birthday to Wynonna Diane Land who just joined our family on October 27, 2022.

Born and raised in LaFollette, TN she went to Washington, DC after business college where she started a career with the Federal Government and met and married Jim. After relocating to Reidsville, NC (via Greensboro and Raleigh) she raised her family with love and compassion. Evelyn took great joy in traveling, spending time with family and friends, rooting for the Duke basketball team and most especially dancing with Jim to Bluegrass and Country music. She was Always dressed impeccably with a matching hat.

She will be terribly missed by all of her family and friends, but we know she is celebrating with Jesus until we rejoin her.
