Joann Berry Estridge, 43, of Hamlet, passed away Wednesday, January 5, 2022 at Atrium Health- Carolinas Medical Center, Charlotte.
She was born September 15, 1978, daughter of Robert Chandler Berry and Deborah Bittle Estridge.
Joann was a loving wife for 21 ½ years. She attended Roberdel Baptist Church with her family. To her son, Scott, she was a loving and caring mother. He was her heart and she loved him very much. She enjoyed crafts and painting, and the beauty of butterflies and sunflowers. She looked forward to yearly trips to Oak Island with close friends and was a fan of Disney World.
Joann, affectionately known as “Mrs. Joann” to all of her preschool babies at Roberdel Baptist Preschool, will be greatly missed by the classroom children, their parents, and her work colleagues. Over many years, approximately fifteen total years, Joann played vital roles as a substitute teacher and then as a primary teacher. She impacted many, many young lives over the course of these years. Most importantly, she taught her children to love the Lord and to love His word. She would offer a listening ear and a prayerful heart to parents who needed reassurance or advice. Morning times will never be the same at Roberdel without her beautiful smile and warm, “Hi Honey”, as staff walk in the door.
Joann is survived by her husband, Kenneth Scott Estridge of the home; son, Jacob Scott Estridge of the home; parents, Robert Berry of Hamlet, and Steve and Debbie Estridge of Rockingham; sisters, Tabatha Miller of Laurinburg and Marissa Berry of Ellerbe; brothers, Jeremy Berry and Robbie Berry (Stephanie), all of Hamlet; nieces, Brooke Lett, Stephanie Barrett, and Abigail Miller; great-niece, Alex Lett; and several nieces and nephews.
