WOODLAND, NC – Virgie Virginia Vaughan Joyner, age 90, passed away on October 18, 2018 at Roanoke Chowan Hospital of Ahoskie, NC.

Mrs. Joyner was born in Bertie County on November 29, 1927, a daughter of the late Grover Cleveland and Sadie Harrell Vaughan. Virgie was a homemaker and loved to cook.

Besides her parents, Virgie was preceded in death by her husband, Linwood Bryant Joyner, and all her siblings.
