To our Mims family, I will speak for the Hurley family and say Ms. Ann was the best! From accepting us into your family to keeping up with us for well over 30 year. Our hearts and prayers are with you on this day. Mama Ann was so much more than a woman,mother and caregiver! She was phenomenal, had a heart of gold, always a smile and kind words anytime I had conversation with her. HEAVEN has truly gained an Angel! I will definitely miss her!

Dear Mims Family...though we live 3500 miles from Fuquay...it did stop us from knowing, calling, interacting and visiting our sweet Cousin Ann. She was truly our black girl who rocked and can not be replaced. Loving is our definition for who she was and showed each of us. We will miss her. California Family, (Ross, McLean, Ray, Duell, Richmond and Salaam)
Reverend Dr. Reginald U. Lowery and the First Baptist Church Family, extend our heartfelt and deepest sympathy to the Mims family. We are lifting you up to the Father in prayer asking Him to comfort your hearts and wrap you in His loving arms. May God's love surround you and bring you comfort and peace. Reverend Dr. Reginald U.

Ann, I am going to miss your gentle nature, your distinct voice and your loving smile. When I think of you I remember all the fun of the long ago Burnett Family Reunions at Aunt Jennie Lee and Uncle Zack's house, Aunt Emma's long prayers before we could eat, me and the rest of the younger cousins playing hide and seek in the cemetery and the highlight of the day is when Uncle Raymond and his friends ride in on the Harley Davidson's to give us rides. It was your parents Uncle JD and Aunt Fannie who cared for me until I was 8 months old because Mom was to ill (I knew you before I knew my sisters); Uncle JD tried to comfort me by giving me gum when I was in the 2nd grade at my brother Willie Frank's funeral crying and everybody around me said I was too young to understand. You and your parents have always held a soft place in my heart and you will be truly missed. My prayer is for peace of the Burnett-Mims Family Your 1st Cousin Carolyn Burnett Quinn

I'm going to truly miss you Ms. Joyce. You left me a voicemail letting me know you were in the hospital. I called you several times but got no answer. I can hear your voice saying to me right now, hey my sweet baby π’. You were so sweet and special to me and I enjoyed all our conversations and laughter. You were always supporting my mom's church and always asking about her and my husband. Rest my sweet friend ποΈI love you Lisa Davis.

Heaven has truly gained an angle. My condolences to the family ππ½π
Momma Mims , where should I begin. Paul & I first met you years ago and you accepted us into your family and treated as one of your own. You NEVER missed a holiday, our anniversary or our birthdays (including Jon's). You would call just to hear our voice when it had been awhile without talking. When I would answer you would always say "there is my baby girl". You always knew when we were in the mtns and you would just call to leave us a vm just to say be careful, have fun and love you. Would ask for us & to call when we got back so you knew we were safe. You would always ask me if Paul needed a whooping and if I said yes then you would say "get me a switch" or "leave my baby boy alone". Your love for God just radiated from you and you always saw the good in everyone and taught people to never judge one another. We are just thankful we got the joy of knowing and loving you. Your love & phones calls will be missed everyday, you will always be "the light that shines through" on our darkest days. We love you momma Mims more than you will ever know. God may have taken you away from us but you will for ever live in our hearts. We know you are looking down on us and laying your protective hands on us every hour of every day.
Love you always. Paul & Deirdre
Sending our deepest condolences to Mrs. Moms family!! She was a nice and caring lady.. I appreciate all the wonderful things she did for my late grandmother... May she Rest In Peace..β€οΈ
Heaven has gained a great Angel when you left this Earth! I am gonna miss your phone calls to check on us and to tell us you love us! I am just so sad and I'm gonna miss you terribly. You are such a special woman! You touched so many people! I will never forget you! I'm really gonna miss you saying, " Hello there my sweet son". I love you Ma! Paul
I will always cherish the wonderful memories I have with your mom. She was like a mother to me. β€οΈ She will be forever missed. ~Vanessa Funderburk
Joyce, I am so glad I got to spend time with you last week β and hold your hand when you prayed for both of us. The world is a little less bright now, but I am thankful for having had the opportunity to get to know you over the past several years. I can honestly say that I'm a better person because I met you. I will miss our phone calls, your joyful laugh, the way you always said "hey baby" or "hey honey" at the beginning of a phone call, and the way you ALWAYS said "I love you" before we got off the phone. The only comfort I have is the fact that I know you are now at peace. My thoughts are with your family and friends as they grieve the loss of such a beautiful soul. Thank you for being you, and for bringing me so much joy the past few years. Andre, Lisa, and family, I am wishing you strength to get through difficult days, and hope that you remember how Joyce touched so many lives. Much love, Melissa Flanagan
The Mims family have my condolences. Joyce will greatly be missed.
