On Wednesday June 10, 2015, SSG Tim Bellinger unexpectedly lost his beloved wife of 19 years, Annie Bellinger, to a sudden illness. SSG Bellinger and his family (which include the couple's 4 children) have tirelessly served in the GA National Guard since 2001 and I have never met a more patriotic and committed family. SSG Bellinger served overseas in both 2004 and 2009 and his wife Annie was an integral and active member of the Family Readiness Group.
