Belva Eleanor Pangallo, 93

Belva Eleanor Pangallo, 93, passed from this life March 25, 2025, while resting peacefully and is now in the presence of her savior, Jesus Christ. Born to Ira and Lora Ward on Nov. 12, 1931, Belva was the middle daughter of three. She lived and attended school in Boise, Idaho, graduating from high school in 1949, where she attended secretarial school.

She married Earnie Pangallo on Dec. 4, 1959, and moved to Northern Idaho, where they raised four children. They just celebrated their 66th wedding anniversary. Belva was an amazing wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend to many.

Belva is survived by her husband, Earnie, and her children: Terry (Sandi), Perry (Connie), Dana Shapland (Dave) and Cory (Joanie). She also had seven grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, Lora and Ira, and her two sisters, Dee and Jean.

Belva was very active in camping and bowling and enjoyed rallying behind "her" Zags, Seahawks and Spokane Chiefs. She also loved spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren and many friends.

Belva will be missed by many, but she is now resting peacefully. Her memory will live forever in our hearts and minds. We all look forward to meeting her again in heaven.
