MRS. RHEA ELLIS BELK
Rhea Ellis Belk went home to be with her Lord and Savior on May 21st, 2010. She was 88. We can only imagine the great homecoming it was as she entered into the presence of the Lord and a host of loved ones who preceded her in death, including her parents, brother, husband, and the light of her live, her little granddaughter Bailey. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends but we all look forward to seeing her again someday. Rhea worked for more than 30 years at Springs Industries of Lancaster. She retired to raise her granddaughter from age three. She loved her family dearly and enjoyed spending time with them.
