Back in 2014, Joey was diagnosed with cervical cancer. She embarked on a grueling course of surgery and treatments, that initially seemed to cure her.
Sadly, just one year later, she began to get sick again. The test determined that her cancer had returned and was metastasizing to her colon.
Once again Joey was determined to best her disease, receiving both radiation and chemotherapy treatment. Sadly, this time the procedure wasn’t effective.
Eventually, Joey and her husband Rory came to a joint decision for her to cease treatment.
Instead, the couple would focus on relishing what little time they had left as a family. Their goal was to help Joey find comfort in her final days.
Joey was set up in hospice care, where she was able to stay close to Rory and her 1-year-old daughter Indiana.
The brave 40-year-old mom spent all the time she could with Indiana and her pet puppies. They cuddled, played, talked, and laughed together.
Time to say goodbye
Joey and her husband Rory also performed a beautiful song titled “When I’m Gone,” addressing the singer’s impending death.
As time went on, cancer began to break her down, and Joey required morphine to deal with the pain. Joey, passed away in March 2016, just after Indiana’s second birthday.
Meanwhile, her husband Rory continues to live on the farm they shared together while raising Indiana.
Here’s a touching video capturing a heartfelt moment between Joey and Indiana during her final days.
May God bless Rory and Indiana, we are sure Joey is smiling down on them from heaven!
