Joanne Deam Obituary
A “Celebration of Life” Memorial Service for Joanne Marie Deam, 76, will be held on Saturday, April 12, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. at Life Church of Shreveport, 2222 Meriwether Rd., Shreveport, Louisiana.
Joanne was born on September 4, 1948, in Bergen County, New Jersey to Edmund Joseph Foster and Ethel Marie Josephine Haws and passed away on Tuesday, March 11, 2025, in Shreveport, Louisiana.
Left to cherish Joanne’s memory is her son, William Michael Christy and her daughter, Kimberly Smith. Joanne adored all her grandchildren: Faith, Skylar, Matthew, Ethan, Kaylee, Gavin, and Autumn. She loved Maisie and Teia as if they were her biological daughters. They loved having fun and doing things with Joanne! She loved to crochet. One of her favorite pleasures was going to eat breakfast with her family.
Joanne will be greatly missed, but we find peace in knowing she is with her Lord and Savior in Heaven completely healed!
