Sue Belcher

Sue Hambleton Belcher, 67, daughter of the late Edward Lee Hambleton and Marian Gregory Hambleton, was born on Feb. 25, 1954, in Owensboro, Kentucky. She entered the presence of her Savior on April 5, 2021, at Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, after a courageous fight with cancer.

She was united in marriage to Gary Belcher on May 31, 1975, in Owensboro, Kentucky. A true partner in life and ministry, Sue excelled in raising their daughters and faithfully served alongside Gary, who survives of the home in Cape Girardeau.

Sue was known as a gentle mother and grandmother, celebrating the unique personalities and dreams of her children and grandchildren. Her daughters remember with gratitude the comfort they found in her presence.

Never one to draw attention to herself, Sue's impact on others had a breadth and depth often unknown as she labored quietly to encourage and build up those around her. Every friend of Sue's knew she loved and valued them. Her faithful friendship was a living picture of Christ's faithfulness to her. She was a member of Grace Bible Fellowship in Sikeston, Missouri, and a resident of Cape Girardeau.

In addition to her roles as mother and Grammie, Sue continued to invest in future generations through a variety of relationships. She was a stand-in Grammie for all the children in her life, loving them as family, and she recently served as a Pre-K teacher's assistant at Clippard Elementary in Cape Girardeau.

In addition to her husband, Gary, she is survived by daughters, Sarah Belcher of Jackson, Tennessee, and Katie Reimann and husband Josh of Salt Lake City, Utah; grandchildren, Lily, Noah, Isaac, and Adeline Reimann; and sister-in-law Marcy Hambleton.

She was preceded in death by her parents and by her brother, Lee Hambleton.

Funeral services will be at 10:30 a.m. Saturday with the Rev. William Marshall and Rev. Kenny King officiating at Lynwood Baptist Church. Interment will follow in the Cape County Memorial Park Cemetery.
