In Loving Memory of Belinda Mata DuBose

July 24, 1957 - May 19, 2026

Belinda Mata DuBose passed away unexpectedly on May 19, 2026, at the age of 68. She was born on July 24, 1957, in Highland Park, Illinois, to her parents, Maria and Jesus "Chuy" Mata.

Belinda lived her life filled with love, strength, dedication, and faith. She shared her life and made cherished memories alongside her husband of nearly 25 years. She was known as a sister in Christ at St. Joseph Catholic Church, where she served on the ACTS team and was always willing to volunteer or lend a helping hand.

She enjoyed sewing, a hobby taught to her by her mother. Belinda came from a large family and cherished every opportunity to visit loved ones in Illinois. She'd gather with her parents, siblings, daughters, nieces, nephews, and cousins and share lasting family memories.

Belinda and David always had a large garden where she enjoyed seeding her own plants and flowers. She truly had a green thumb and was also a member of the Garden Club, Quilting Club, and Art Club.

She loved to travel and visit churches along the way. She also enjoyed traveling in her RV, always bringing the dogs along on their adventures. In her later years, she especially cherished traveling with her daughters, spending time together laughing, and creating fun memories they would always treasure. Belinda and David loved to dance; any music had them floating around the dance floor. She was known for her unforgettable laugh and her love of life.

She is survived by her husband, David Wayne DuBose; mother, Maria Mata; children, Jennifer (Martin) Reyes, Monica J. Villarreal, Ashley (Derek) Coyle, Samantha (Coy) Barber, and David DuBose II; grandchildren, Emma Coyle, Hannah Coyle, Kade Barber, and Gustaf DuBose; siblings, Mario (Darlyn) Mata, Mary Elsa (Marquette) Fricot, Elizabeth (Dennis Mahoney), Mark (Teri) Mata, and Dina (Richard) Oberman; siblings-in-law, Debbie DuBose, Don DuBose, Janice DuBose, and Pam (Ron) Shoemake; and numerous beloved nieces, nephews, and cousins.
