Joyce Ann Horton, 58, of the Fairview Community of Blackwater, VA, went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ peacefully on Saturday, March 26, 2022, surrounded by her loving family. She loved the Lord with everything in her and put her faith and trust in Him always. She gave her life to the Lord and received the gift of Salvation at a young age. She loved to hear the word preached, worship and have fellowship at the church, which she did all her life until she became unable to attend due to illness. The Lord blessed her to be a wonderful and loving wife, mother, mamaw and sister. She was a friend and a blessing to all that knew her and met her. She was preceded in death by her parents, Lawrence and Nell Roberts, and by her sister, Sharon Tankersley. She is survived by her loving husband of 41 years, Larry Horton; son, Rev. Jacob Horton; daughter, Hope and Matt Hensley; her joys of her life, two granddaughters, Sadie and Emmie Hensley; two brothers, David Roberts (Jessica) and Dwain Roberts (Jackie); father and mother-in-law, I.E. and Polly Horton; brothers-in-law, Chris Horton, Phillip Horton (Carolyn) and Mitchell Horton (Tammy); and many beloved nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
