Joan Brimberry Cline

Joan Brimberry Cline passed away peacefully to be with her Lord and Savior on December 20th, 2022, at the age of 91. She was born to Stanley and Vallie (Dubose) Brimberry on February 17th, 1931, in Dallas, Texas. She grew up in Dallas and met the love of her life, Gerald Joseph Cline, in high school at Cliff Temple Baptist Church. They both attended the University of Texas at Austin and were lifelong, avid Longhorn fans. Her lifelong love of sports led to many conversations with other sports enthusiasts regarding her favorite teams, including the Texas Rangers and Dallas Cowboys, as well as the PGA Tour. Her greatest joy in life came from serving others as a wife, Mama, Nana, and friend. She was a dedicated member of First Baptist Church of Plano for over 50 years serving in various ministries, including Cornerstone youth, Sunshine Singers, and 55+ mission trips. She and Jerry also enjoyed many vacations with family and friends to Colorado.

To know her was to know true kindness, joy, acceptance, friendship, and love. She embodied all that Jesus desires His children to be and we know she heard “well done, my good and faithful servant” as she was welcomed into Heaven. She was our angel here on Earth and now she is our angel above.

She is survived by her loving husband of 71 years, Gerald Joseph Cline; her two daughters, Gloria and husband Howard McKinney, Julia, and husband Bob Jordan; four grandchildren, Jake Jordan, Ben (Leah) Jordan, Kaylee Jordan, and Hannah (Creighton) Apple; and soon to be 7 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her son, Mark Leander Cline, her brother, Doyle Brimberry, and sister, Joy Brimberry Francis. Special thanks to the medical team and staff at Three Oaks Hospice as well as the staff of Teresa's House Senior Living.

A graveside service will be held on Wednesday, December 28, 2022, at 11:00 am at Laurel Land Memorial Park in Dallas, Texas.

In honor of her lifelong dedication to sharing her love of God and the gospel message of Jesus Christ, we ask that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to PowerPoint Ministries at jackgraham.org.
