Pernelthia Marie Joyner

Pernelthia Marie Joyner was born November 13, 1953 in Nansemond County, Virginia to the late Robert Sr. and Ella Mae Bagley. Marie, or ‘Boot’ as she was known to most, was called home on to our Lord on December 30, 2016. Marie was a quiet and private person. Although humble about herself, she was extremely proud of her children and grandchild. She was always eager to talk about LaShonda and Caroline and would go on and on about Tyler. Marie was a voracious reader. She also enjoyed writing short stories and poetry, and would often sit and reflect within her own thoughts. Marie is lovingly remembered by her two daughters, LaShonda Joyner of Edgewood, Maryland, and Caroline Sweat of Suffolk, Virginia; her grandson Tyler Clifton Holley; two sisters, Ella Mae Williams and Bobbie Tappin (Lee), both of Suffolk, Virginia; three brothers, Joe L. Bagley (Gloria), James H. Bagley (Betty), of Suffolk, Virginia and Ray C. Bagley (Marion) of Chesapeake, Virginia; sister-in-law, Embery Bagley of Gatesville, North Carolina; her aunt, Rosa Bagley Sweat of New Haven Connecticut; loving nieces, and nephews. Two brothers preceded her in death, Robert W. Bagley, Jr. and Cleve “Buddy” Bagley (Thelma), and brother-in-law, Walter Williams, Jr. A celebration of life will be held at a later date (PENDING), at Palm Tree Baptist Church, 8165 Whaleyville Blvd., Suffolk, Virginia where Pastor Anthony Sommerville is the Senior Pastor. Her brother, Pastor Ray C. Bagley will deliver the eulogy. Marie will be laid to rest in the Bagley Family Cemetery.
