Joan Elizabeth Deegan

Joan Elizabeth Deegan, age 58, of Acworth, Georgia, passed away on Friday, June 13, 2025. She was born on August 9th , 1966, in Rockville Center, New York. Joan is survived by her husband Steve Deegan, her children Ashley Bollinger, Ariana Deegan, and Bryan Deegan, as well as her son-in-law Garrett Bollinger and soon-to-be grandson Wyatt Bollinger. She is lovingly remembered by her family in Ireland: Colette, Enda, Brian, Padraig, Adrian, and Cathy, and her many relations and friends in County Tyrone and Belfast. Joan was a bright spirit whose true passion in life was to love and help others. She purchased a home healthcare business, Visiting Angels, in 2018. Through her deep consideration and devotion to her clients, she was able to successfully grow the business enough to purchase the rights in 2021, leading to the creation of Deegan Homecare. Joan made sure to help ease the lives of her clients and their families during difficult times. With the business, she was able to touch so many lives in such a short period of time. The legacy of Deegan Homecare lives on today through her business partner and loving friend, Kelsey McDurmond, as Silver Linings Care. When Joan wasn’t working or being the incredible mom that she was, she enjoyed playing tennis and participating in community events. She also enjoyed attending events such as orchestra concerts to watch her daughters play violin, and traveling to different baseball fields to see her son play baseball. She loved spending time with and supporting her children more than anything. Additionally, she was active in the alcoholics anonymous community and celebrated 17 years of sobriety this past year. A celebration of life will be held in her honor on July 5th at Burnt Hickory Baptist Church (5145 Due W Rd NW, Powder Springs, GA 30127) in the main auditorium at 12-3 pm. There will be an opportunity for friends and family to tell stories and speak about their memories with Joan. Additionally, a visitation will occur after the ceremony during this time.
