Atlanta, GA — With heavy hearts and profound gratitude for the life she lived, we mourn the passing of Louvenia Delean Fluitt Megwara, lovingly known by all as DeeDee. Her transition leaves a void that words can scarcely express, but her legacy — rich in compassion, kindness, and purpose — continues to uplift the lives she so deeply touched.
DeeDee was not just a name, but a spirit — one that radiated warmth, understanding, and joy to everyone she met. Whether you knew her from church, from community outreach efforts, or as a beloved family member or friend, you knew that DeeDee was a source of unwavering love and dependable strength. Her smile could disarm a heavy heart, and her presence made every space feel more like home.
A Devoted Life
Born with a heart tuned toward service, Louvenia “DeeDee” Megwara lived a life guided by faith and driven by the values of compassion and dignity. As a devoted mother, sister, and friend, her love knew no boundaries. Family was her anchor, and she poured herself selflessly into nurturing, guiding, and protecting those she held dear.
But her love extended far beyond the confines of family. DeeDee saw humanity as her family — the hungry, the forgotten, the motherless, the struggling — all found a fierce advocate and gentle caretaker in her.
She dedicated much of her time and resources to feeding the homeless in Atlanta, never seeking praise, only seeking to be the hands and feet of the God she served. She was a beacon to the broken, often providing a warm meal, a listening ear, and a word of encouragement to those who had lost their way. Her vision of building a home for motherless babies in Nigeria was a testament to her global heart — one that ached for justice and yearned to restore dignity where it had been taken.
Faith in Action
DeeDee’s faith was her foundation, and it manifested in every act of kindness she performed. Whether singing in the choir, organizing community events, or mentoring young women, she lived out her beliefs with humility and grace. She was never too busy to pray for someone, never too tired to serve, and never too proud to love unconditionally.
Her devotion to uplifting the most vulnerable reflected her deep understanding of purpose — that we are here not to take, but to give; not to judge, but to love; not to remain silent in suffering, but to act in mercy.
A Lasting Legacy
Although her earthly journey has come to a close, the seeds DeeDee planted during her time with us will continue to bear fruit. Her memory will be carried forward in the lives of her children, her extended family, her church family, and the countless strangers who became friends under her loving care.
As we celebrate her life, we remember not only what DeeDee did, but who she was: a light in the darkness, a voice of comfort, a pillar of strength, and a symbol of hope.
Her legacy is etched in every warm meal served, every dream she sparked in a child’s heart, every tear she wiped away, and every soul she reminded that they mattered.
Honoring Her Vision
In honor of her dream to support vulnerable children in Nigeria, her family and loved ones are working to ensure that DeeDee’s vision for a home for motherless babies is brought to life. Details will be shared soon for those who wish to contribute to this mission and help carry forward the compassionate work she so dearly loved.
Rest in Eternal Peace
Louvenia Delean Fluitt Megwara, your life was a song of love and service, and we will keep singing your melody long after the music has faded from our ears. You gave the world your heart — and in doing so, reminded us all of what truly matters.
“Well done, good and faithful servant.” — Matthew 25:23
You will be missed. You will be remembered. You will be honored.
