A memorial will be held for Joey Feek in Indiana.

Hoosiers will soon have a chance to come together and remember the music and life of Joey Feek.

A public memorial service will be held Sunday, March 13, at 2:30 p.m. in the Alexandria-Monroe High School gymnasium. Feek was a native of Alexandria and died in her family home March 4, surrounded by loved ones.

The service will be hosted by Bill and Gloria Gaither, gospel musicians and family friends of Feek's.

“Joey was one of a kind," Bill said. "We all will miss that sweet, transparent spirit.”

Feek was half of a country music duo, along with her husband, Rory. Feek was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2014. The couple was nominated for a Grammy in 2016, but lost the award just days before her death.
