Joey Feek Died at the Age of 40: Read the Emotional Blog Post of Rory



Now an angel in heaven, Joey Feek died this past Friday from stage four cervical cancer.  Rory her husband has been documenting her battle against this disease for the past several months on his blog that is called This Life I Live, announced the sad news within his blog with a very emotional post.
“My wife’s greatest dream came true today. She is in Heaven. The cancer is gone, the pain has ceased and all her tears are dry,” he began. “Joey is in the arms of her beloved brother Justin and using her pretty voice to sing for her savior. At 2:30 this afternoon, as we were gathered around her, holding hands and praying … my precious bride breathed her last. And a moment later took her first breath on the other side.”

This very loving husband shared that several weeks before Joey’s death that Joey received a gift from one her idols.

“As I held her hand and kissed her goodbye one last time … I was reminded of another dream of hers that came true. A few months ago through gracious help of Kathy Olen, a friend of ours in Nashville, and many others … I had been sent a short video that Dolly Parton had made for Joey,” Rory went on to say. “From the time she was four years old, Joey had been singing Dolly’s songs and dreamed of one day meeting her. Coat of Many Colors was a regular part of our show and at home she loved to put on Dolly and listen to ‘Hello God,’ ‘When I Sing For Him,’ ‘Me and Little Andy’ and many others. She never got the chance to meet her in person and had no idea that Dolly even knew who she was. But that changed one Friday evening this past November.”

Rory and Joey share a daughter that is named Indiana.
