Overview
- Joni Lamb, who co-founded the Daystar Television Network, died Thursday at 65 after a recent back injury worsened prior health issues, with no cause of death released.
- The network’s board said her love for viewers shaped the ministry from the beginning and honored her decades of work on and off the air.
- Suzy Lamb wrote on X that her husband, Jonathan Lamb, was not called to say goodbye as his mother’s condition declined.
- A separate Mother’s Day post from Suzy that praised her own mother but did not mention Joni drew wide attention online and fueled debate among followers.
- Daystar, launched in the Dallas area in 1993 by Joni and Marcus Lamb, expanded into a global Christian broadcaster and made Joni a familiar host on programs such as Joni Table Talk and Ministry Now.
