    Notes:

    Joyce McKinney "Granny", 88, went home to be with Jesus on Wednesday, January 18, 2023 at her home.

    She was the last of 11 children of the late Henry and Oakie Dona Buchanan Thomas. Waiting to welcome her into her eternal home, along with her parents; her husband, Roman McKinney; her twin sister, June Holder; sisters, Ruby and Hazel Thomas, Pansy Grindstaff, Hulda Briggs; brothers, Emmett, Robert, Arnold, Ernest and Tommy Thomas. Now the circle is unbroken.

    Left to cherish her sweet memory are two daughters, Jackie (Earl) Trice of Newland, NC and Judy Baird of Erwin, TN; three granddaughters, Amy Kleaving and Allen of Naval Base Charleston, Rosa Trice of Chattanooga, Tracy Dishman of Newland. One great grandson, Jake. Countless number of nieces and nephews; and a special one, Joe (Fredia) Thomas.

    She will be remembered for devotion to Jesus and countless prayers she prayed for her family and friends. If you had a problem you would call Granny and get her praying for comfort and for simple sound advice.

    Second to her prayers would be her love and devotion to family and friends. She was loved by everyone she never met a stranger, they were drawn in by her smile and just little cuteness. She loved nature and all things beautiful from a rainbow to a scrap of pretty paper. It took so very little to please her. She had a playfulness about her and a girlish joy for life.

    Flowers were her passion from a tiny wild spring violet to the beautiful gardens she so tenderly tended. Once she was overheard saying, "God, I don't worship flowers but I love them awful good". And she loved the little birds and could sit outside and listen for hours. Especially the tiny wren, when you see him and hear his song think of her.

    Services for Joyce A McKinney will be held on Sunday, January 22, 2023 beginning at 2:00 pm from the Reins-Sturdivant Funeral Home.

    The family will receive friends beginning at 1:00 pm on Sunday at Reins-Sturdivant Funeral Home.

    Interment will be in the Thomas Family Cemetery.
