Koch, Belinda Carol
Belinda Carol Koch, 75, passed away on January 16, 2025, after having bravely fought cancer for almost 7 years. With her strength and tenacity, she exceeded everyone's expecta-tions during this journey.

In addition, special friends, Sharon Benedict, Lisa Quesne, Chrissy Wieters and numerous others.
Belinda retired from AK Steel in 2006 after 30 years of working in the hot strip mill in maintenance and then as a Total Quality System (TQS) Coordinator. She enjoyed working with tools and computers.
As a long term student at the Middletown Art Center, Belinda was a talented enamelist and won numerous awards for her pieces including People's Choice, Best of Show and numer-ous 1st, 2nd and 3rd place ribbons in the enamel category. She has blessed her family and friends with many of her art pieces which will be treasured for years to come.
Her family sends their appreciation and gratitude to the staff of Hospice of Butler and War-ren Counties for the fabulous care provided to Belinda as she made her transition from this life.
In memory of Belinda, donations can be made to the Middletown Art Center.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
