Chip and Denny with Joey plus Rory

Published: Feb. 16, 2019, 4:06 p.m.

b'Christian country artists Joey & Rory Feek, 2008 - 2016, will be the featured artists this week on The Gospel Jubilee.

In 2008, a friend suggested that Joey and Rory try out for "Can You Duet," a talent show airing on CMT with the purpose of finding the next great country
duo.
They made an audition tape and came up with the name "Joey + Rory," and finished in third place on Can You Duet.
The duo were signed to Sugar Hill/Vanguard Records, who released their first three studio albums.\\xa0 Together they produced 8 albums.

On February 17, 2014, their first child, Indiana, was born at home with midwives, surrounded by Rory, Joey\'s big sisters, and Grandma June.
In the days immediately following Indy\'s birth, the couple learned that she had "Down Syndrome."

A few months later in May 2014, Joey was diagnosed with "Cervical Cancer."
After surgery and treatment, she was declared cancer free and did not receive any radiation or chemotherapy as her surgeons declared the surgery to be
a success with the cancer removed with clean margins.

In June 2015, after the family had finished filming their movie,\\xa0 Joey was not feeling well again and sought medical advice.
After undergoing further medical testing, it was discovered that the cervical cancer had returned and metastasized to her colon.

While undergoing treatment at Cancer Treatment Centers of America, Joey would record hymns in their hotel room for the last CD the couple would create
together.

Joey was pronounced dead on March 4, 2016, at approximately 2:30pm.\\xa0 She was 40 years old.
Honoring her wishes, Rory held a private funeral on their farm in Tennessee and Joey was buried in the family cemetery on the Feek farm, where Rory\'s mother
had been buried in 2014 and where Rory himself will be buried.
