Belinda Jones was born on November 21, 1960 in Copenhagen, Denmark to Elbert and Ane (Pedersen) Jones. Her father was in the U.S. Air Force which moved the family around the world. Belinda adventured across Germany, Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Canada, and South Dakota, specifically Rapid City, twice, where she became a naturalized citizen in 1973. In 1994, she became a permanent resident of Rapid City where she gave birth to her "Baby Girl" on June 20, 1995. In 2012, Belinda met Gary Porath in Rapid City and they became engaged in 2014. Together they started Northern Hills Tobacco and Supplies.

Belinda was the most beautiful person anyone could meet. She was a mother, a best friend, a caretaker and a great mentor. She loved everything and everybody especially her daughter, Anita. Anita was her world and she let everyone know it. However, Belinda took in and adopted others whom she loved also. She was a daddy's girl and was very proud of him being retired U.S. Air Force.

Belinda had a great calling for nature and animals alike. She was a wanderer and enjoyed hiking, cross country skiing, Christmas tree hunting, a beautiful day at the lake and family gatherings. Holidays were important to her and she celebrated them all and made each one special.
