Jean Lockhart

In Loving Memory of Bertha Jean Langley Lockhart February 17, 1945 – October 5, 2025 It is with deep sorrow and abiding love, we announce the passing of Bertha Jean Lockhart, an amazing daughter, a cherished mother, devoted aunt, and most importantly, a beloved granny. She departed this life peacefully on October 5, 2025, at the age of 80, surrounded by the family she so dearly loved. Born on February 17, 1945, Jean spent her life pouring love into everyone around her. As a mother, she was a pillar of strength and tenderness—always ready with a warm hug, wise words, and a heart full of grace. Her children knew her as their safe haven, their guiding light, and their greatest blessing. They always knew they could turn to her with any problem—big or small—and she would listen with compassion, offer heartfelt advice, and help in any way she could. As a sister, Jean was a steadfast companion and a source of unwavering support. Her siblings knew her as someone who could be counted on through every season of life—whether it was sharing laughter during joyful times or offering comfort during moments of sorrow. She nurtured deep bonds with each of them, always ready with a listening ear, a helping hand, and a heart full of love. But it was as Granny that she truly shined. Everyone knew her as their granny and her grandchildren, both natural and adopted, were her pride and joy, and she filled their lives with unconditional love, gentle wisdom, and unforgettable memories. From bedtime stories to holiday dinners, she was the heartbeat of the family—teaching them to be kind, to be strong, to cherish every moment and even be a little feisty. She attended their school plays, graduations, cheered them on at sports games, weddings and attended as many birthdays and special occasions as possible. Her home was a sanctuary where they felt safe, celebrated, and deeply loved. Jean’s legacy is one of love, faith, and quiet strength. She leaves behind a family forever changed by her presence and forever grateful for the gift of her life. A celebration of Jean’s life will take place on Saturday, October 11, at 2:00 PM at New Horizon Funeral Home in Dora, Alabama. Family will be received beginning at 12:00 PM, followed by friends at 1:00 PM. New Horizon Memorial Funeral Home directing 205-648-2323
