Welcome home, good and faithful one.

Shellie Martin, otherwise known as the internet personality The Joyful Patriarchy Wife has passed away at September 8, 2022, at the age of 58. According to her son Paul, she was diagnosed with breast cancer only three months ago, and despite a quick surgery to remove it, was taken to the hospital having trouble breath. Quicky deteriorating, further tests revealed stage 4 lung cancer as well as cancer in her bones. “It was too late at that point to do anything but make sure she was comfortable. It all happened so fast. I still don’t fully believe this is real. “

Martin was known for her kind but firm encouragement and conviction that women should find joy in being a wife and mother, and that it was a blessing to fill this role.


Paul says that they are in a bit of tight spot on account of the unexpected death and funeral costs, and that anyone who wants to donate to the funeral expenses can do so here.
