Joyce Ann Fleming Nafe, 73, departed this life on Thursday April 11, 2013, at ECM Hospital in Florence, Alabama surrounded by her loving family. She was a life long member of the Church of Christ, and a member of the Cedar Grove Church of Christ for over 30 years.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Woody Lester and Ethel Rose Fleming and five brothers: Gaither, Press, Sam, Otto and Dee Fleming.

She is survived by her devoted husband of 54 years, R.E. (Gene) Nafe. Son, Tony and his wife Dana Nafe, their children Emily (Tom) Rary, Sarah (Michael) Bearden, and Ben Nafe.
