Joann Kimes, 92, passed away on Thursday, November 5, 2026, in Shreveport, Louisiana. Born on November 5, 1934, in Fort Smith, Arkansas, to Genevieve M. Riley and Ernest J.

Joann was a loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who cherished her family and the time spent with those closest to her. She also enjoyed sharing her love of music, singing and playing the organ at church for many years. She will be missed dearly by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. To know her was to love her.

Joann was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Tommy Kimes, with whom she shared 63 years of marriage; her parents; and her brother, Kenneth Riley.
