Belinda Fae Welch

Belinda Fae Welch, 49, of Kennewick, went to be with the Lord on Thursday, January 4, 2018. She was born August 30, 1968 in Pullman, WA to Ben and Joyce (Palms) Welch.

Belinda graduated from Selah High School in 1986 where she met Jerry Beach.  They married on September 18, 1987 and raised their children of whom she was extremely proud. She enjoyed watching them play sports while traveling throughout the PNW and never missed a game. Belinda had a great career that allowed her to travel the country building many long lasting friendships.  Everyone enjoyed spending time with her by the pool, soaking up the sun, and getting to hear all about her kids’ accomplishments.  She was also very fond of walking, whether in support of cancer, arthritis, or just for pure enjoyment.  She will be greatly missed and forever in our hearts.

Belinda is survived by her children Krysta Beach, Richland, Kyle Beach, Kennewick, David (Jennifer) Pearl of Alexandria, VA; two sisters Bonnie (Calvin) Gagnon and Cindy (Ken) Ellis, both of Kennewick; Grandson Calum Pearl; and numerous nieces and nephews whom she dearly loved.  She was preceded in death by her mother, Joyce (Palms) Welch; and her brother Keith Johnson.

A celebration of life will be held at the Courtyard by Marriott, 480 Columbia Point Drive, Richland on Saturday, January 13th from 11:00 am - 2:00 pm. A balloon release will be at 1:30 pm.

After her mother passed from cancer, Belinda became very passionate about supporting cancer awareness.  In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Tri-City Cancer Center, 7350 W. Deschutes Ave, Kennewick, WA 99336 or online at https://tccancer.org/foundation/donations .
