Georgia Ellen Pearson-Belville passed away at Pine View in Valentine, Nebraska on Sunday, April 4th, 2021 at the age of 91.
Georgia was born on November 14, 1929 in Woodlake, Nebraska to George and Mable Pearson. She attended school in the country school district throughout elementary and then moved on to Valentine Rural High School where she graduated at the age of 16. After a period of long walks and love letters, Lowell Wayne Belville and Georgia Ellen Pearson were married on September 14, 1947. In their 48 years of marriage they were blessed with three children Virginia, Cindy, and Wayne. In 1963, Georgia, Lowell, and their children moved from Valentine to the Pearson Ranch. Georgia loved the life of the ranch and would be considered a one of a kind ranch wife and mother. Georgia also worked in town for some time as a clinic nursing assistant. When not completing ranch work or helping others in town Georgia enjoyed being a part of the “Red Hat Lady’s,” “Brownlee Women’s Club,” the EMT crew, and belonged to the United Methodist Church.
