Belinda Kay Pendergrass, 51, West Plains, Missouri, went home to be with Jesus, May 18, 2024, in Columbia, Missouri.
She was born the daughter of the late Jerry and Laura Pendergrass, West Plains, Missouri.
She is survived by her mother, Laura Pendergrass, West Plains, Missouri; one sister, Melanie Wyatt and husband, Joel, West Plains, Missouri; one very special nephew, Landry Pitts, who he called Aunt B, and very special fur baby, Nella, who she spoiled rotten; her four aunts, Charm Eagleman and husband, Tim, Caulfield, Missouri; Dee Lewis and husband, Lanny, West Plains, Missouri; Sherri Cromer and husband, Craig, West Plains, Missouri, and Phyllis Schimming and husband, Jim, Maryville, Missouri; two uncles, Jim Pendergrass and wife Marilyn, Lexington Missouri and Robert Pendergrass and wife Fayetta Pendergrass; thirteen cousins, Missy Eagleman and husband Steve, Sarah Beth Huett and husband Joel, Holly Bee Stephens and husband Bryson, Emily Richardson and husband Reggie, Bethany Hamby, Adam Lewis and wife Erin, Allison Wrenfrow and husband Tim, Kathleen Koone and husband Michael, Matthew Cromer and wife, Jennifer, Brenda Neff and husband, Marc, Becci Moore and husband Brandon, Beth Marie, and Brian Schimming and Melissa, and several second and third cousins. We must talk about one special second cousin, Levi Wrenfrow, who we call our miracle baby. We call him this because it took 17 years for that to happen. Belinda checked on Allison almost every day when she was pregnant with Levi, and then several days after he was born. She went to his dedication at his church, and of course he sat on Aunt B’s lap most of the service. She thought he was pretty special.
She is preceded in death by her dad, Jerry Pendergrass, her grandparents, Claude and Madge Pendergrass
and Jim and Jane Phipps, a very special second cousin Abrille Neff.
She was a member of Faith Chapel Freewill Baptist Church in West Plains, Missouri and attended faithfully until she could no longer because of health issues. Her sister, Melanie and her nephew, Landry made her life whole. She had a heart as big as a mountain and a smile that would light up a room, with a laugh that was infectious. She loved people and her kindness and personality echoed that. She worked at OZH Hospital. She scheduled all the surgeries for many of the local doctors. She loved her job and loved her work family.
She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
Funeral Services will be held on Thursday, May 23, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. At the Faith Chapel Freewill Baptist Church. Visitation will be Wednesday, May 22, 2024, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00p.m.
Interment will be on Thursday March 23, 2024, in the Howell Memorial Park, Pomona, Missouri with services under the direction of Carter Funeral Home, Inc. in West Plains, Missouri.

I am so shocked to see Belinda had passed tho it’s been several years since I’ve seen her. I worked with her many years ago at Sears when Curtis Barton owned it. We had many good times and when I decided to leave Sears she brought me a baby kitten I named Lacey. Later I found out Lacey was a rag doll cat. Belinda will be missed greatly and I know she is rejoicing with our Lord in heaven today. My prayers are with all the family. She was a jewel and a loved lady. May God give you that strength that only He can give at this time.
