Mrs. Rebecca Joy Hobgood Liddell, 65, of Holcomb, passed away Thursday, September 7, 2023 at Baptist Memorial Hospital in Memphis.  She was born August 23, 1958 in Greenwood to Buddy and Rebecca Staten Hobgood.  Joy spent most of her working life enriching the lives of children and found a calling in working as a Dyslexia Therapist at Carroll Academy.  A faithful Christian, Joy was a member of Bethel Baptist Church.  She was an excellent cook and enjoyed sharing delicious meals she prepared with her family and friends.  Joy also thoroughly enjoyed "junking" trips with her best friend, Sherry Campbell.  Above all, Joy found her greatest pleasure in being a grandmother.  While her absence leaves a void in the hearts of those who loved her, we find comfort in knowing she held in her heart the cure to death, a relationship with Jesus Christ.  She will be missed for many years to come.

A graveside service will be held at 11:00 AM Wednesday, September 13, 2023 at Bethel Baptist Church Cemetery with Rev. Stanley Turner officiating.  The family will receive friends from 5:00 – 8:00 PM Tuesday evening at McKibben and Guinn Funeral Service.

Survivors include her husband, Sam Liddell; mother, Rebecca Hobgood of Holcomb; daughter, Deana Liddell Thompson(Calvin) of Cleveland; son, Dustin Liddell of Holcomb; sister, Brenda Wilson of Holcomb; three grandchildren, Anna Taylor Garrard, Rebecca Grace Garrard and John Riley Earnest and a dear, special friend, Sherry Campbell.

She was preceded in death by her father, Buddy Hobgood and a brother, John Hobgood.

Pallbearers will be David DuBard, Eddie Hammons, Lamar Lee, Tim Liddell, Keith Livingston and Jeff Pickle.
