Misti Dawn Deskins

of Selmer, TN

July 25, 1981 - December 28, 2023

Misti Dawn Deskins, age 42, of Selmer, TN went home to her beloved Lord and Savior on December 28, 2023. Misti was born July 25, 1981 to Donald ''Don'' Welch and Gwendolyn Stokes. She was born and raised in West Memphis, AR and graduated from West Memphis High School. Misti grew up attending First Assembly of God Church, where she was a Missionate. She was a strong and hard-working individual who impacted those around her throughout her time at Goode Hands Daycare and Food Giant. Misti had a bright and shining spirit. Everyone who knew her loved her. She was a down to earth person who treated friends like family, always there to love and encourage. She thought the world of her family and friends. Misti was a daddy's girl. She loved everything about him and his love for wrestling. Misti devoted her time supporting SPWA and many wrestlers making sure his legacy lived on. Through SPWA she met the love of her life, Terry Foust. Together they shared love for their dog, Levi, travel and spending time together. She loved her TN VOLS and those around her knew it. Always representing her orange and white.

Misti is deeply missed by those who knew and loved her, her friends and family know to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. It is comforting knowing she is with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Misti is preceded in death by her father, Donald Welch; grandparents, Marvin and Edith Rhyne and great grandmother, Velma Meacham. She is survived by the love of her life, Terry Foust; mother, Gwen Stokes; Sister Cynthia Hudgings and brother-in-law David Hudgings; nieces, Kelcie; Katie Hudgings and many cousins dear to her heart.

The family will receive visitors Friday, January 5th from 6-8pm at Roller Citizens Funeral Home.
