Belinda Lee Carmikle

Belinda Lee Carmikle was born in Ventura, CA on March 29, 1968. Belinda lived in California and Sallisaw, OK during her early school years. Following the loss of her mother, Belinda went to live in Illinois with Raymond, Maria, Marina, and Ken Nicholson. Together they moved to Sherman, TX where Belinda would spend her senior year at Sherman High School.

Belinda went on to attend Grayson County College attaining her Associates in Business Administration, and Bachelors’ Degree in Accounting from Texas Woman’s University. Belinda was a member of The American Society of Women Accountants, and Sigma Pi Beta honor fraternity for business and economics. After successfully sitting for her CPA, Belinda practiced as an accountant for many years. During her life, Belinda held many positions including comptroller for some of the nation’s leading home construction companies.

Belinda had a passionate love for her family, friends, church, and her dogs. She also held a special fondness for first responders and our military, current as well as veterans. She was well known for always sending a card or flowers on special occasions, and loved music!

She lived her life echoing Joseph Smith’s words, “It is duty which every Saint ought to render to his brethren freely—to always love them, and ever succor them.” Belinda felt blessed to be able to spend time volunteering for various organizations that help those in need, including C.U.R.E., fostering dogs, and many hours of service with her church family and friends in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in The Colony, TX. Knowing that Belinda found peace, belonging and joy in her Church brings comfort to those who miss her so dearly.
