Joann Steffenhagen Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Willard H. Scott Funeral Home, Inc. on Dec. 3, 2025.
Rochester: Saturday, November 29, 2025, age 57. Predeceased by her parents, Edward and Sabina Steffenhagen. She leaves her brother, John (Julie) Steffenhagen; sister, Kim (Dave) Joris; nieces and nephew, Sara (David) Beyerlein, Jessica (Ken) Benson, Victoria (Cameron) Bender and David VerSchneider; extended family and friends.

Joann was part of the Catholic Charities community for some time, and attended school in East Rochester. She lived and worked independently for many years, and volunteered her time when she could.

Joann loved movies, enjoyed every episode of Friends, and almost always had a diet pop nearby. Kind, accepting, sensitive, and gentle, she made others feel at ease simply by being themselves. Joann cared deeply for all people and animals. Joann will always be remembered for her constant, genuine smile. She will be deeply missed and forever loved.

Friends may call 4-7 PM Wednesday, December 10 at Willard H. Scott Funeral Home, 12 South Ave., Webster. In lieu of flowers, Memorials may be directed to Lollypop Farm.
