JOEL RUSKIN HEARSHEN, 78,
beloved husband, father, grand-
father, brother, uncle and friend,
passed away on May 25, 2023.
He was born on Dec. 14, 1944,
in Detroit to Beatrice and Berl
Hearshen.
Joel spent his career as a social
science teacher in the Detroit
Public School system as well as
working as an adjunct professor at
Madonna University in Livonia.
During the summers, he enjoyed
working as a house painter with a
fellow educator.
Joel was a voracious reader
who loved history and learning
about the nations of the world. He
served as a board member of his
synagogue, Temple Emanu-El in
Oak Park.
He was also a joyful person,
who was inquisitive and filled
with knowledge of the world that
far outreached his education. He
loved to laugh, and he loved to
tell stories. His family was very
important to him, and he spent
his happiest times with them.
When he became a grandfather,
he began his second life as one of
the greatest ones ever made; there
was nothing that he wouldn’t do
for his two granddaughters.
He loved music, especially the
music from his childhood and for-
mative years. He also loved to take
trips in the car and to drive all
over our wonderful country. Joel
was always happy in the kitchen,
where he and his wife, Nancy,
would make all sorts of delicious
dishes for themselves and for their
family.
Some of Joel’s happiest times
were spent reading books, both
fiction and nonfiction. He always
adored the summers that he,
Nancy and their children spent
in Charlevoix. During his retire-
ment, he enjoyed volunteering
at the Detroit Zoo, with Meals
on Wheels and at the annual
Christmas Day volunteer program
in Metropolitan Detroit.
Joel lost his battle with blad-
der cancer on May 25, 2023. His
fight began in August of 2022,
and he fought with courage and
the resolve that he would beat it.
This battle was filled with ups and
downs though he believed, and his
family believes, that he was never
defined by it.
Mr. Hearshen is survived by his
wife of 50 years, Nancy Hearshen;
his children, Rachel (Christian)
Rickwardt of Frankfurt, Germany,
and Rabbi Josh (Carrie) Hearshen
of Brookhaven, Ga.; his sister and
brother-in-law, Fern and Mike
Halem of Moorpark, Calif.; his
two granddaughters, Ayelet and
Galit Hearshen; nieces and neph-
ews, cousins and numerous other
family and friends.
He was predeceased by his
brother and sister-in-law, Norman
and Elaine Hearshen.
The funeral was held at
Congregation Or VeShalom,
followed by burial at Greenwood
Cemetery in Atlanta, Ga. The
family asks for memories to be
shared on app.mialma.com/
joel-hearshen. Donations may
be made to the Congregation Or
VeShalom Future Fund.
