Billy Joiner

Billy Joiner, son of the late Oran Glenn Joiner, Sr. and Chlodine Joiner, was born on Friday, November 5, 1943, and departed this life on Thursday, June 19, 2025, at the age 81 years 7 months 14 days. Bill was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Brenda, with whom he shared 62 wonderful years together. He leaves behind two daughters, Dena Ammons (Rob), Tena Reynolds; a grandson, Travis Ammons; a granddaughter, Annie Reynolds and a great-granddaughter, Nyla Rose Reynolds. He leaves behind one brother, Paul Joiner (Mary) and four sisters, Linda Joiner, Pat Joiner, Sandra Joiner, Barbara Kirkpatrick (Clifford); two brothers-in-laws, Gary Miller (Sue Ann), James Franklin Miller (Jonell) and two sister-in-laws, Helen Mathes (Allan), Pat Freeman and a host of nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by one brother, Oran Joiner Junior; his mother, Chlodine Joiner and his father, Oran Joiner Senior. He loved all the years of working on the railroad and was still seen years after retiring working derailments and teaching all his family about ''proper train track etiquette''. He loved Western movies and piddling in the shed or around the house. He loved to aggravate people but that was secretly just how you knew he cared about you. He loved his kids and grandkids and his great grand baby. You could find him crawling around on the floor or pushing her around in his walker until the last few weeks before he passed. If you saw Bill, you saw Brenda and he pretty much just loved whatever she loved. He loved their house in Florida and if you asked him for a boat ride to see alligators, he'd pull you up so close you could pet it. He could always be seen drinking an ice-cold Coca-Cola and eating a Bologna sandwich. He will be greatly missed. Graveside services will be held on Monday, June 30, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at the Oak Ridge Cemetery in Kennett. Powell Funeral & Cremation Services, Kennett is in charge of arrangements.
