Edward Joseph Deumite was born February 4, 1921 in Oberlin, Louisiana and passed away peacefully at the age of 100 at home with family. "Uncle Ed" to all, was a loving Uncle, eternal optimist, avid football and western movie fan. He was a dedicated walker who never met a stranger. Uncle Ed was a devout Catholic and attended mass regularly until his last few months. His friendly disposition, saluting wave, quick wit and playful personality will be greatly missed.

He is survived by his brothers, Louis Deumite (Betty, deceased)and Norman Deumite (Kay); sister, Ruth Thomas (K.J., deceased); nieces, Karen Darnall (Mike), Patricia Thomas, Kathy Broha (Kent), Libby Chop (David), Staci Duhe (Craig); and nephews, Marty Deumite (Beverly), Dr. Joseph Deumite (Karen), Phillip Thomas (Linda), John Thomas (Beverly), Scott Deumite, Sloan Deumite and numerous great nieces and nephews.

The eldest of six children, Uncle Ed is preceded in death by his parents, Norman and Rose Deumite; brothers, Alee and Phillip Deumite; niece, Rose Ann Deleo (Jim) and nephew, Steve Deumite.

Special thanks to Naomi Rocca, Mrs. Effie, Vine, Crystal, Nell, Regina, Sharletta and Terri for all their love and care. Please make charitable donations to Hospice of Baton Rouge, LA (special thank you Suzie). Rest in peace sweet Uncle Ed.
