Joseph (Joe) Mack Hale, 63 of Sibley, MO, went home to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on January 1, 2019. Visiting of the family will be held on Saturday, January 12, 2019, 10am-11am at Missionary Restoration Branch, (3415 N. Elsea Smith Rd.; Buckner, MO 64016) where Joe was currently serving as Pastor. Memorial service will immediately follow at 11am. There will be a time for everyone who wants to, to share their favorite memory. 

Joe was born on October 18, 1955, to Raymond and Vada Hale. He grew up on a farm in Thornton, TX. where he lived most of his life, until he followed the Lord’s commands and moved his family to Sibley, Missouri, in 1998.   

One of Joe’s greatest pleasures was being a missionary for our Lord. He provided ministry everywhere he went. From home to church. From Arizona to Maine. He even spread God’s words to Kenya, Germany, and England. Everyone who knew him, loved, honored, and cherished their times with him. He will be greatly missed and his memory will live on, around the world. 

Joe was preceded in death by his parents, Raymond V. and Vada (Carter) Hale. He is survived by his loving wife of 36 years, Connie (Nehring) Hale of the home. 3 daughters, Leslie (Lyle) Meservey of Buckner, MO; Lindsie (Jeremy) Vaughan of Sibley, MO; and Kealsie (Joe) Green of Sibley, MO, and 1 son Josh (Karen) Hale of Grain Valley, MO. 11 grandchildren that meant the world to him.  As well as a brother Raymond (Margaret) Hale of College Station, TX, and a sister Margaret Hale of Houston, TX. Many wonderful nieces, nephews, cousins, church family, and friends, who all loved him dearly. 

In lieu of flowers, the family has requested donations be made to the Missionary Fund at Missionary Restoration Branch – 3415 N. Elsea Smith Rd.; Buckner, MO 64016.
