Mama Joey's greatest gift was uplifting others through prayer, advice, and unwavering spirit.

A memorial service will be held at Collierville Funeral Home on Saturday, April 6th, at 10 am, followed by interment at Magnolia Cemetery at 11:30 am. Collierville Funeral Home is honored to assist in commemorating Mama Joey's life with the dignity and respect she deserves. As we bid farewell, let us cherish her legacy of love and kindness.
