Joyce Faye Campbell Meredith

Joyce Faye Campbell Meredith, age 66, born on Tuesday, August 4, 1959, in Iredell County, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, at Gordon Hospice House in Iredell County. She lived her life with a passion that resonated through her many interests and her cherished relationships.

Joyce and her husband Bobby were known as the owners of Bobby Joe's restaurant, where her love of cooking brought joy to countless patrons. Her culinary skills were matched only by her warm personality, making everyone feel at home in her establishment.

Joyce had an unwavering devotion to her family, who meant the world to her. She cherished every opportunity to spend time with her husband of 45 years, Bobby Meredith Jr., and their many wonderful memories together are a testament to their deep bond. Her brothers, Bobby Shew, Henry Shew, and Ronnie Shew, along with several nieces and nephews, were sources of joy in her life, reflecting the love that she cultivated through her strong family ties.

In addition to her family and career, Joyce’s interests encompassed a variety of hobbies. She found delight in traveling and experiencing the thrill of riding motorcycles. Fishing was another passion she enjoyed, often spending time outdoors, surrounded by nature, which brought her peace and happiness.

Joyce leaves behind a loving family who will forever remember her infectious spirit and the way her laughter could lighten any room.

She was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Rayford "Tangle" and Geraldine Campbell Shew, and her brother, Charles Shew.

No services are planned at this time.
