Welcomed into the arms of her husband on November 10, 2024 at the age of 76. 

Predeceased by her husband, Roger; parents, Bristol & Eugenia Blossom; brother, Allan Blossom.

She is survived by her children, Rance (Pearl) Grape & Robayn Perrin; grandchildren, Nikki (Alexander) Bullinger, Jordan "JC" Grape, Collin Grape, Genia (River) Perrin, Brittney (Patrick) Burch, Devin Orlando, & Amber (Matthew) Gillman; great-grandchildren, Hailey & Anastasia Bullinger, Antonio & Violet Gillman; sister, Jeanne (Rick) Avant; many nieces, nephews & cousins, & also Nana to many.

Joanne was a loving caring giving Mom, Nana, daughter, sister and friend. She was a Rush Henrietta bus driver and doted on the kids on the bus. Anyone that met her she very quickly became Nana. She loved the casino, coloring, crafts but most of all playing with her grandchildren. The world has lost a very bright light. 

Her Graveside Service will be held 12:30pm Tuesday, November 26, 2024 at White Haven Memorial Park, 210 Marsh Road, Pittsford.

Her Celebration of Life will be held Sunday, January 26th at the Henrietta town Park in Henrietta Roberts cabin at 2 PM. We are asking everyone to bring a picture of them with Joanne for the guestbook if that can be added and to bring a memory.
