Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.
In Loving Memory of Sarah Emmie Bellamy (86). Sarah passed away on February 16, 2026. She was a kindhearted and loving mother, sister and friend whose generous spirit touched many lives.
Sarah was born on March 15, 1939, to the late Otis and Emmie [Davis] Alexander. She grew up in Phenix City, Alabama. She graduated as the valedictorian from Mount Olive High School. She moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where she was a seamstress and made wedding dresses for Alfred Angelo Bridal Company. She moved to Columbus Georgia where she continued to sew clothes for others. She also was a homemaker and was known for her banana pudding. Sarah was married to James Bellamy Sr. They had two sons, James Bellamy Jr. and Jerald Bellamy.
Sarah was baptized on March 29, 1969, as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. She was a devoted member of the South and Riverpark Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses. On September 1, 1999, she became a regular pioneer. She loved her God Jehovah and loved helping others learn about the Bible and God’s hope for the future. When someone passed away, she would always say with full confidence, “we will see them again, they will be back“. Now she has that same hope of an earthly resurrection. Even though advanced age limited her mobility, she still managed to share Bible truths by means of letter writing. This is the same way she learned the truth, through her older sister Carrie, from Pennsylvania. Even while sick in the hospital and in the rehabilitation centers, she was still sharing bible truths with the medical staff.
She was preceded in death by her husband James Bellamy Sr. and son James Bellamy Jr. Her brother Arthur Alexander and sisters Bertha Alexander and Carrie [Alexander] Thomas. She leaves behind to cherish her memories her son Jerald Bellamy and daughter-in-law Darlene Bellamy, her loving baby sister Julia [Alexander] Dixon, her brother Clarence [Jeanette] Alexander and sister-in-law Lena Alexander. A host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and loving brothers and sisters in the congregations of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
A memorial service for Sarah will be held on Sunday, March 15, 2026, at 5:00 pm at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses 9947 Veterans Pkwy, Midland, Georgia 31820. Zoom Information: Meeting ID 454443111 Passcode 675499

My Dear Sis. Sarah was a kind, beloved close mother figure to me, my pioneer partner when I lived in Georgia and a close family friend. She was both beautiful inside and out. She was so faithful to Jehovah and it was pure love and heartfelt, not hypocritical. Though temporarily gone she is terribly missed but never forgotten. Job 14:13-15
Kimberly Foxworth says
My dear sister- I will always remember the love you showed me. All those years of pioneering with you taught me how deep Jehovah’s love goes. During my formative years you were right there with me. I learned to love and respect our older ones. I will always hold you close to my heart. Until we met again sleep well my dear.

Sis. Bellamy was a very nice loving person who was soft spoken and kind. She is loved by everyone who knew her as she was pleasant to talk to and was always in the ministry. I look forward to seeing her again in the near future.
Mary kimbrough says
My deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Mrs.Sarah, glad I had a chance to meet her, a beautiful woman.
Annie Hall says
With Sarah’s assistance, I learned to use all of the tools that I had been given by my teacher that had moved to another congregation. She was the sweetest and most supportive sister imaginable. I started pioneering in the late 80’s while working full time and Sarah supported me by going out in the ministry with me after I had worked my 8 hours. Looking back on that, it was truly a big sacrifice that she made for me at that time. I have always cherished her and she will always have a special place in my heart.
Nadine Jackson says
My deepest condolences to our family and friends. We will truly miss our dear sister and friend. We look to see her real soon. Nadine
Norma Wms says
Enjoyed working with Sarah doing the eighty’s we were called by some the Moon Walkers because we would walk and talk two steps forward and two steps backwards in the ministry
Looking forward to seeing Sarah in good health in the New World.
Virginia Winter Smith says
I, too, loved Sister Sarah Bellamy. She was calm, kind, soft-spoken, and took to heart Matthew 24:14:”And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.” Sarah loved people and reached as many as she could with the life-saving Good News of Jehovah God’s Kingdom. She’ll be back and I can’t wait to see her beautiful smile again. 🌹
