Joanne Marie Evans, age 86, left us on July 18, 2025, joining those she loved dearly who passed before her.

Joanne was young at heart and kept a youthful spirit throughout her entire life. She cherished time spent in northern Michigan, where she made lasting memories with her children and granddaughter. Joanne enjoyed dining by the water and having great times at the casino.

With a passion for French décor, Joanne took great pride in keeping an immaculate home and a beautiful garden. Joanne also had a deep love for animals, always showing kindness and affection to those who crossed her path.

Joanne had a strong sense of faith. Her greatest love was for her family. Her children, Debbie and Gregg, and late husband Sonny, were always on her mind and held forever in her heart.

Beloved wife of Theodore Foreman, III and the late Harold Evans (1996). Cherished mother of Tamara (Bill) Crkovski, the late Debbie Ladd and Gregg Evans. Devoted grandmother of Milana Crkovski. Loving sister of Ronald Dudley (Joyce) and the late Errol White.

Joanne will be remembered for her warmth, compassion, and the deep devotion she had for her family. Her love and grace will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

Funeral Service will be held at 1:00PM on Sunday, July 27, 2025, at Lutheran Church of The Redeemer, 1800 W Maple Rd, Birmingham, MI 48009. Visitation at Church begins at 12noon.
