JoAnn Beaver Obituary
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of JoAnn Beaver, a beloved wife, grandmother, aunt, and friend, on October 6th, 2025. Born in Baltimore, Maryland, on a warm July day in 1948, JoAnn spent her 77 years brightening the lives of everyone she encountered.
JoAnn resided in Pasadena, Maryland, where she built a life full of love, laughter, and compassion. Her journey was marked by an unwavering dedication to her family and a lifetime of adventures. She was the loving wife of Theodore Beaver, who stood by her side through all of life's changes and cherished their shared moments.
Family was the cornerstone of JoAnn's world. She is survived by her beloved husband, Theodore, and her five precious grandchildren: Justin Price, BJ Price, Kayleigh Bugglin, Thomas Brown, and Danielle Brown, who were all the light of her life. JoAnn's deep affection for her family extended to her numerous nieces and nephews, who always felt her love and support.
Her spirit was shaped by the influence of those who preceded her in death, including her parents Earl Elmer Harman and Nellie Elizabeth Harman, as well as her daughters Pamela Lockard and Angela Lockard. She also joins her brother Earl Harman, and sisters Shirley Fewster and Darlene Baker in eternal peace.
JoAnn was characterized by her extraordinary compassion and a genuine desire to help those around her. She had a passion for travel and particularly loved to embark on cruises, where she could explore new horizons and create lasting memories. In her downtime, she enjoyed the simple pleasure of playing games on her phone.
A memorial service to celebrate JoAnn's remarkable life will be held at a later date at Trinity Bible Church (please check back for updates). Her journey will conclude with interment at the Maryland Veterans Cemetery in Crownsville, where she will rest in serene beauty.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in JoAnn's memory to Trinity Bible Church, located at 99 Truck House Road, Severna Park, MD 21146.
JoAnn Beaver will be remembered for her boundless love, kindness, and the joy she brought into the world. Her comforting presence and warm smile will be sorely missed, but her legacy will endure in the hearts of all who knew her.
