Autumn Pope Obituary
Autumn Grace (Dolbear) Pope, 37, of North Syracuse, passed away on August 26th, 2024.
Autumn was born in Rochester, New York on September 24, 1986, to Ron and Diane Dolbear. She worked at Berkshire Farm Center & Services for Youth in Syracuse, New York as an Administrative Assistant. At Berkshire, she enjoyed being a part of helping foster children and families. From a young age, Autumn had a strong creative side, designing and sewing beautiful quilts for friends and family. She was also an avid baker and loved watching baking and cooking shows. She had a whimsical soul, finding joy in the lighter parts of life, and spread joy to others by sharing some of her favorite things—animated movies, anything Harry Potter, and baked goods. Autumn performed with the Phoenix Winter Guard program from 1999 to 2004. During this time, she built lifelong friendships and won several awards, including a Championship gold medal in 2001. Autumn and her husband Taylor were music lovers and enjoyed attending concerts and sharing a love for their three cats.
She is survived by her husband of 2 years, Taylor Sanzone; her parents, Diane and Ron Dolbear; brother Krispin Dolbear (Lisa); sister Sarah Henderson (Tim); and many aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews. Autumn will be dearly missed.
