Gina (Bivins) Matthews

     Gina Bivins Matthews, age 64 of Teachey, NC, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, surrounded by her family. A devoted wife, mama, Meme, and Gigi, Gina touched the lives of so many people with her kindness, warmth, and loving spirit.

      Born in Jacksonville, NC on May 22, 1961, Gina was the daughter of the late Jackie and Mary Bivins of Wallace. Gina was the beloved wife of Bill for nearly 45 years. Together, they raised a family that Gina was so proud of: Brittany and husband David, Morgan and husband Eric, and Angel and husband Braxton. Being a Meme to Carrlee Jack, Skylar, and Fin, along with Gigi to Layton and Holden, was one of her greatest blessings. Gina was a loving sister-in-law to Kay and Delana Johnson. Along with many loving nieces and nephews, Gina found a sisterly love and best friend through Brenda Knight and Gail Ramsey. She was known as Ginka to a special boy, Lon Teachey.

      Known for her generosity and caring ways, Gina always put the needs of others above her own. Her love for Jesus and her family was the foundation of her life and something she held closest to her heart.

     You would often find Gina listening to praise and worship songs, baking treats for loved ones, reading her devotionals, and sending thoughtful messages — simply put, Gina nurtured the needs of others in all that she did. She led by example, offered sound advice, and faithfully prayed for her family and loved ones every single day.   

     Gina’s greatest joys in life were being a devoted wife, a loving mama, and a proud Meme and Gigi. She took great pride in these roles. When her family was gathered together, Gina was at her happiest, her heart full.  

     She leaves behind a legacy of faith, kindness, and unwavering love that will continue to live on in all who knew her. Though she will be deeply missed, her spirit will remain with us always — in every prayer, every act of kindness, and every moment shared with family, Whenever the wind whispers and a hummingbird’s wings flutter by, we will feel her with us, knowing she is “all good” and walking with Jesus in her Heavenly home.

     Memorial service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, June 16, 2025 at Quinn-McGowen Funeral Home Wallace Chapel with Pastor Eric Murray and Pastor Byron Murray officiating.

     Graveside service will follow at Rockfish Memorial Cemetery, Wallace, North Carolina
