Bishop Frank Summerfield and his wife Joenell Summerfield co-pastored the Word of God Fellowship Church and Academy in Raleigh, North Carolina together.

“It is with great sadness that the Word of God Fellowship Church Ministries announces the passing of Overseer JoeNell Summerfield, Co-Founder and Co-Pastor of Word of God Fellowship Church, Academy, and Daycare in Raleigh, NC,” the church announced in a brief statement.
The church said she passed September 9th, but did not say what caused her death.
We do know she took ill back in January, because Bishop T.D. Jakes had asked for prayers for “healing” for Lady Joenell on his Instagram page.
First Lady Summerfield , wife of Bishop Frank Summerfield is in desperate need of healing. I just left her bedside in Raleigh agreeing with the family in prayer. Please join me in interceding for her! She really needs a touch from God. You don't need to call or go by…… just send urgent prayer! Thank you! @bishopsummerfield
