LaSonya "Candy" Belcher gained her wings on December 13, 2021, at age 48. LaSonya was born to Archie Nelson Jr. and Sonya Butler on September 2, 1973, in Wichita Falls, TX. As a child, LaSonya excelled in school, graduating in 1992 from Wichita Falls High School. During her high school years, she was inducted into the highly esteemed Debutante society and obtained her Cosmetology license before graduation.

They married soon after in 2005 and merged their blended family of 4 children, Tamela Byrd, Kelly Byrd, Brittney Belcher, and Dominique Belcher.
In addition to being a dedicated military wife and loving mother, LaSonya found a passion for helping others in the healthcare industry.
