Belinda Sergeant, beloved wife of Glenn Sergeant, loving mother of David, Benjamin (w/ our Lord), and Leah Longbrake (Sergeant) passed into her sweet Savior's arms just prior to noon January 3, 2023, ending her 15 year battle with Frontotemperol Dementia. While her quiet slippage into the Savior's arms brought rivers of tears to those at her bedside and rivers of tears to those friends and family soon learning of it, her passing into eternity also brought sincere and thankful thoughts from those who knew Belinda for she was a beautiful soul who left a positive impact on everyone and everything she touched.

To begin, she was born Belinda Schaap, February 5, 1958 to William and Elizabeth Schaap in Kansas City, Missouri. She had one sister, Constance (Connie), three years her senior. These two girls were the closest of sisters and the best of friends. This sisterhood was cemented in love, a deep abiding love toward each other that went from childhood through Linda's last day of adulthood.

One spiritually significant event took place in June 1970 while living in Anchorage, Alaska. After understanding the wonderful promise of Scripture, twelve year old Belinda asked Jesus into her heart, requesting He be her Savior.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,

that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have

everlasting life (John 3:16).”

This genuine, spiritual, life-altering decision impacted Belinda in a way best viewed as vibrant “Christ-likeness”. Her soul -- her inner-self, constantly exhibited kindness, love, laughter, an unflappable spirit, a desire to excel, a willingness to help, and the conviction to always do what was right.

Crossing the threshold into young adulthood, toward the end of her high school senior year (1976), she met me, Glenn Sergeant, a young Air Force NCO at her local Fellowship Baptist Church in Goldsboro, NC. Love quickly took over the relationship – both smitten beyond measure. Pursuing an employable skill, Belinda completed with highest honors a Medical Transcription Associate's Degree in March, 1978. This would be her career work, eventually owning her own business.

June 17, 1978 a simple but beautiful marriage took place at Fellowship Baptist in which a shining, smiling 20 year old Belinda married me (then 23) & proceeded to make my life one which men dream about – unending love, lots of fun, abiding joy, intertwined strength in trials, and joint effort to the desires of God. This delightful woman was the mother to David (1985), Benjamin (1987), and finally a daughter, Leah (1990). She loved all of us in such a manner that we loved her back with every fiber of our beings. She made our family fun, functional, and fulfilling. As a wife to me and mother for three growing children, she was a master of guiding, advising, directing, encouraging, and instilling traits which led to success in the affairs of life. Most importantly, her relationship to the Holy Trinity: the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit was sincere, alive, impactful, and obvious.

He was raised in San Angelo, attended Blackshear Elementary and also attended Lee Jr. High School. He joined the military, serving in the Army for a time, was a cook, and but there was a greater duty that defined his time on this Earth. Jugga's life's work revolved around being an amazing husband, and an outstanding dad. There is no debate on either, absolutely unmatched father and husband.

Let it be known, Bobby Jewel Townsend Sr definitely considered himself a "world class pitmaster" in addition to being the great man, father, and husband he lived to be.

Jugga was the baby boy among his siblings. He was proceeded in death by his parents, Preston and Jimmie Lee Townsend.

Together, they gave life and raised three children, Marquette Walker, Bobby Towsend Jr, and Kevin Townsend. Vanessa and Bobby are also the proud grandparents of D'Nasha Walker, Marquette Walker Jr, Ja'Marques Walker, Khloe Walker, Kaleb Walker, Kendrick Washington, Alex Gonzalez, Allan Townsend, Avery Townsend, Kevin Townsend Jr., Aleigha Townsend, and Kashlyn Townsend. Also, a great grandfather to D'Arius Raeshawn Hall I know he would love give mention to his "daughters", Sherri Townsend, Latresia Sherrell, and Shawna Walker. Special mention to Nakia and Tess.

Bobby aka Jugga will be greatly missed. But know and take comfort that his mission in life has been fulfilled. There is no greater husband. There is no greater father. Remember Bobby Jewel Townsend Sr as a great man.
