Dr. Carolyn (Smith) Belt changed her address to Heaven on Friday, March 1, 2019. Memorial service: 2:00 PM, Saturday, March 23, 2019, Crossing Place Church, Granbury.
Carolyn was born on February 21, 1943 in Dallas, Texas. Her parents were LM and Lucille Smith. When Carolyn was four years old, the family moved to Roswell, NM, and she grew up there. In 1959, she married her soulmate and best friend Jimmy Belt. Together they had three children, Joanne (Benny), Terri (Robert) and Leonard who was stillborn. They had six grandchildren, Brandon (Amanda), Edwin, Zachary (Janie), Spencer, Teresa (Scott) and Tammy, 16 great-grandchildren, six great-great-grandchildren, one sister: Glenda Short and many nieces and nephews.
Those waiting to welcome her are her Daddy and Mother, Leonard, one sister Adele Sides, father-in-law Don Belt, mother-in-law Anna Belt and many other family members and friends.
Carolyn worked as a CNA before going to school and getting her LPN licenses in 1980 at Olney Hamilton Hospital. Carolyn enjoyed working in places like New Mexico, Texas, and Georgia. She really enjoyed working in the Nursing Homes. That is where she got the most joy.
She loved her family and enjoyed visiting them. She loved going to church and singing for the Lord. At one time, she was part of the CGMA and she and Terri got to perform in Phoenix, AZ.
She enjoyed painting and drawing pictures for her family and friends. At the age of 75, she finished taking classes and received her Doctrine Degree in Ministry through Trinity Bible School and Seminary. She was the Lead Pastor and she served on the Board of Bloodbought Ministry.
She was a blessing to everyone that she met.
The family would like to thank the staff of Granbury Villa for the wonderful care and support they provided. The family would also like to thank the staff from Envoy Hospice for their care and love and support to Carolyn.

You were (and still are) an inspiration in my life. When I first met you, I came to your house to pick up my future wife (your daughter, Terri) for a date. I had no idea (at that time) that you were going to be my Mother-in-law. I am very proud and honored to be part of your family. Mom; you are dearly loved, and I will miss you very much.

I AM GOING TO MISS CAROLYN. SHE WAS ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS. HER LOVE FOR LIFE AND FOR THE LORD WAS UNLIKE ANYONE I KNOW. SHE IS AN EXAMPLE OF A LIFE THAT WAS TOTALLY SOLD OUT TO JESUS. I LOVE HER SO MUCH. NOW SHE IS IN HEAVEN INTERCEDING FOR ME AND MANY OTHERS. ONE DAY I WILL BE REUNITED WITH MY FRIEND........

I’m going to miss my grandma so much but one thing she passed on to me is the love of art and the Lord I’m going to miss her talking to her and staying up late with her I loved her so much
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
