On March 11, 2024, heaven gained an angel as Essa Joan Hart of Rogersville, AL peacefully passed away in Florence at the age of 70 years, 3 months, and 4 days. Born in Florence, AL to the late Eugene and Nellie May Jones Berry, Joan's life was a testament to kindness and love.
Joan's dedication shone through her work at the North Alabama Bone and Joint clinic for over 30 years in Medical Records. Beyond her professional life, she found joy in simple pleasures - immersing herself in books, savoring beach moments, cherishing animals, but above all delighting in the presence of her grandchildren.
She is survived by daughter, Danasa Moore-McColl (Scott); sons, Derek Pierce and Jimmy L. Dean (April); sister, Joyce Alexander; grandchildren, Jennifer VanDevender (Trent), Allie Bowers (Brandon), Alexis Cochran (Doug), Tucker Furline, Braden McColl, Grace Dean, and Hadley Montgomery; and great grandchildren, Madelyn Cochran, Wesley Cochran, Madison VanDevender, and Essa Bowers.
In addition to her parents, Joan was preceded in death by several aunts and uncles.
