Joy Renea Sulfridge

Joy Renea Sulfridge, 53, a loving, thoughtful, and cherished member of the Williamsburg community, departed this life on April 1, 2026, at Baptist Health – Corbin. Born on January 16, 1973, in Corbin, KY, Renea brought a radiant light into this world that will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
Renea was a woman of strong faith, which was evident in her selfless devotion to her family and friends. She cherished the simple pleasures of life, such as reading a good book, singing and playing the piano at her beloved church, or traveling to new places. However, the joy she found in spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren, was unparalleled. Renea’s life mantra was that she never met a stranger, embodying a spirit of acceptance and kindness that touched countless lives. Renea remained active in her community, fostering friendships and creating memories that will be treasured forever. She was a member of Grace Christian Fellowship in Williamsburg, KY.
