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..Joey Feek died after a long battle with cancer. One after Joey's passing, husband Rory broke the silence and he shared a sweet new post on Instagram on Saturday. In the photo, Rory, 49, is seen carrying his daughter, Indiana, 2, on his shoulders while he pets a horse. "Home," he captioned the picture (see above).
Moreover, Rory will be heading home to Tennessee, along with the couple's 2-year-old daughter and his older daughters from his first marriage. Returning home will be difficult, he acknowledges, but he knows his wife will be with him in spirit. Tennessee is where Joey wants them to be, Rory says in his latest This Life I Live blog post.
"It's where she will be... She's gonna be in the mint growing beside our back deck, the sweet-corn frozen in our freezer and a million other places that her hand and heart has touched around our little farmhouse and community. Joey will still be with us. Everywhere."
There will be a private funeral service. As previously noted, Joey will be buried in a box in the backyard of their home.
Joey had been fighting Stage IV cancer for nine months, surrounded by the love and support of countless family members, friends, loved ones, longtime followers of her music and even strangers who were inspired by her life.
Joey was known for her beautiful voice, beautiful smile and beautiful marriage partnership with Rory Feek. Together they shared a life built around a love of faith, family, farming and country music. Their stories, which ranged from growing vegetables to their blossoming as a country music duo, have impacted countless people through television, radio and performances. While grateful for numerous accolades and countless career dreams that came true, Joey found the real meaning and joys of life to be one of love for her GOD, love for her home and family, love for planting and growing and love for sharing with everyone she knew. Her roles as wife and mother are often heralded beyond her celebrity successes.
