Life Legacy


On Saturday, October 27, 2018, I passed from the land of the living into the land of the truly living. Heaven is now my home and there is no more sorrow, no more grief and no more tears.

When you read this I will already be enjoying eternal life with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and beloved husband Neil. I want to thank God that I had the joy of having a beloved husband, beautiful and beloved children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. I am so grateful for my wonderful brothers and sisters, 
nieces and nephews that I have shared my life with. I pray for their salvation too.
I will skip the part where I list all my life’s accomplishments because they don’t mean much, all that is important is knowing God has been with me.

Life is indeed short and no one knows when their time here will be up. It is my prayer that you won’t face death without knowing Jesus. The Bible states that the wage of sin is death. We are all sinners and will be condemned to an eternity in hell if it weren’t for Jesus.  Jesus is the Son of God and was sent to Earth to take the just punishment for sin as our substitute. He rose from the dead to share his victory over death to be forgiven. All we have to do is accept Jesus as our Savior. Jesus did the rest. John 3:16. My prayer is to see you All soon with my Heavenly Father.

Mrs. Bellemore is survived by her 6 children: Paula Spears, Christian Beaver, Denise Thrush, Collette Sorg, Micheline Bevaqua and Beverly Chavers, and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her beloved husband F. Neil Bellemore. Also survived by her siblings: Marjorie & Dan Flaim, Richard Simpson, Bonnie & Joseph Candella and the late William Simpson.

Friends may call at the LANE FUNERAL HOME, INC., 8622 Buffalo Avenue Wednesday (Oct. 31st) from 2-7 PM. As per MaryJean’s wishes, to celebrate her life, please wear bright clothing and nothing black.

Funeral Services will be held Thursday 10:00 AM at the First Presbyterian Church of Niagara Falls, 311 First St., Niagara Falls, NY 14303. EVERYONE ASSEMBLE AT THE CHURCH
.  Burial will be held in Niagara Falls Memorial Park Cemetery, Town of Lewiston.

In lieu of flowers please donate to St. Jude Children’s Hospital, 262 Danny Thomas Pl, Memphis, TN 38105.
