Desserree Pierce Osborne, 85, of Johnson City, went home to be with her Lord on Wednesday, November 25, 2020, from her residence. Desserree was born on August 2, 1935 and was the daughter of the late Henry Joseph Pierce and Mamie Nave Pierce.
In addition to her parents, Desserree was preceded in death by her loving husband, Clifford Frank Osborne, and three of her sisters, Novella Ferguson, Ellen Pierce and Grace Rossiter.
Desserree was a graduate of Science Hill High School and later went on to receive her Bachelors of Science Degree from East Tennessee State University. She enjoyed spending her time cooking, traveling, decorating her home for the different holidays but most of all she enjoyed spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren. Desserree was a faithful member of Sinking Creek Baptist Church.
Those left to cherish her memory include her daughter, Jill Bremer and husband Dr. Jonathan Bremer of Elizabethton; her son, Craig Osborne of Piney Flats; her grandchildren, Dr. Abby Gass and husband Dr. Justin Gass of Elizabethton, Chloe Bremer of Nashville, Sophie Bremer of Elizabethton, Sarah Osborne Wagner and husband Craig Wagner of Wilmington, N.C., and Daniel Osborne of Salt Lake City, Utah; great-grandchildren, Asher Gass and Finn Gass; and her sister, Henrietta May and husband Paul of Elizabethton. Several nieces and nephews also survive.
Due to growing concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, the family will be conducting a private committal and entombment service in the Mausoleum of Peace at Happy Valley Memorial Park with Rev. Raymond Amos Sr. officiating. Those who prefer memorials in lieu of flowers may make donations to the First United Methodist Church Food Pantry Ministry at 325 East E Street, Elizabethton, TN 37643. The family would like to extend a special thank you to Mrs. Osborne’s caregivers, Dora Swafford and Kim Hardin, for their years of loving care and faithful service.
