Obituary of Deanna Williamson
Deanna Lambert was born on December 7, 1947 in Monroe, Michigan. She was one of three children born from the union of the late Joseph Lambert and the late Kathleen (Cousineau) Polokovich.
Deanna would be blessed in her life with two daughters and she always worked hard to provide for them. Above anything, she valued the time that the three of them got to spend together.
Dee, as she affectionately became known, was a talented crafter. She would create beautiful, one-of-a-kind rings, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets for her family and friends. Dee would also proudly “bedazzle” jean jackets, painstakingly placing tiny jewels on the denim material to create a crown or princess image for her granddaughters. Above anything, Dee loved her family. She treasured any time shared with children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Another talent Dee displayed was the ability to not only bake cakes for weddings and birthdays, but she also the ability to decorate them.
As a devout Christian woman, Dee, would receive her spiritual nourishment by regularly reading her Bible or by tuning in to a live stream of a local Sunday service, with North Monroe Street Church of God being her favorite to watch. She would also listen to Contemporary Christian tunes daily, while taking care of chores or just to relax and put her mind at ease.
Deanna Williamson, age 73, of Monroe passed away at ProMedica Monroe Regional Hospital at 8:47pm on Thursday; May 20, 2021. In addition to her parents her passing was preceded by her husband: Robert Williamson.
