Belanda Ann Hitzfield

Belanda Ann (Carpenter) Hitzfield, 79, of Roanoke, IN, was received into God’s eternal kingdom on August 25, 2020. She was born on March 20, 1941, in Ft. Wayne to Dewey Jacob and Thelma Jane Fisher Carpenter. She was a wonderful homemaker. She married her high school sweetheart, William (Bill) Lee Hitzfield, with whom she shared 56 years of marriage. She was preceded in death by her husband, Bill; son, Billy; and her sisters, Mary Ellen Kreigh and Phyllis Joann Kreigh. She is survived by her daughter, Melinda (Clayton) Albertson; son, Brad (Bea); six grandchildren, and ten great-grandchildren. Belanda served her Lord and Savior by raising a Christian family, studying God’s word, and generously giving her time in the gardens at Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church. She delighted in spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren feeding the fish in her pond, baking endless amounts of Christmas cookies and candies in her kitchen, and by attending their soccer games and tennis matches. She enjoyed being a member of The Gab Club, a social group of six ladies, that gathered once/month for over 40 years. And how she loved cutting the grass on her ride-a-mower! A private family service and burial will be held. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church, 1819 Reservation Dr., Ft. Wayne, IN 46819.
