Cleek whose hand and heart she had clung to since his death in April 2010. The Joy Bells of Heaven rang once again as this beautiful couple parted by death in this world were rejoined in Heaven for an eternity of praising Jesus. A long-time resident of Kingsport, Alberta was born June 28, 1932 in Scott County, Va. and raised in East Carter’s Valley in Sullivan County. In addition to her husband, Charlie, she was preceded in death by her parents, Claude and Nevada Bellamy; sisters, Lucille Bellamy and Pauline Salley; and brothers, Howard C.

Only after her children were in school, did she follow her own dream of being a nurse and returned to school to achieve that goal. She worked night shift at Holston Valley Hospital for many years to ensure that she was available both mornings and evenings for her family. Upon her early retirement in 1980, she devoted her time to "whatever Charlie wants to do", spending much time in traveling, camping, fishing and loving her numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Cecil was a member of Kingsport First Assembly of God, where he especially loved the time he spent in his Fellowship Sunday School classes. There, he shared great conversations about God’s goodness and always a good plate of food, make that “plates” of food.
