Joey Martin Feek, age 40, went home to meet her Savior Friday, March 4th, 2016, around 2:30pm, in her native hometown of Alexandria, IN. A current resident of Pottsville, TN, with her husband, Rory, Joey was surrounded by family and close friends at the time of her passing.

I know there are many other women who feel the same. THank you. Thank you for sharing, not just your story, but your LIFE with bravery, and NEVER wasting one opportunity to point others to Jesus."
