ALEXANDRIA, Ind., March 4 (UPI) — Country music star Joey Feek died Friday after a long battle with cancer, her husband and stage partner Rory Feek announced. She was 40.

Joey had been under hospice care for the last several months after doctors told her the cervical cancer she had was too aggressive to treat.

Her husband chronicled her last days with him and their 2-year-old daughter Indiana on his This Life I Live blog.

“My wife’s greatest dream came true today. She is in Heaven,” Rory said in a Facebook post with a link to his blog and a video tribute to his cherished spouse.
