Obituary of Joanne S. Pucek

Joanne Silvia (Capozzi) Pucek was reunited with her Lord and Savior on Thursday, December 31, 2020. She was predeceased by her parents, Michael and Josephine Capozzi, sister Louise Capozzi, brother Anthony Capozzi, parents-in-law Rudolph and Lottie Pucek, brothers-in-law William Orband and Robert Pucek and a special friend, Father Simeon. She is survived by her beloved husband of 63 years Rudolph Pucek, children JoAnne Pucek, Michael Pucek, Mary Beth and Mark Walsh, grandchildren Lauren and Brian Blackham, Jessica and Danny McHugh, Derrick Pucek, Zachary, Alex, and Sydney Walsh, great-grandchildren Kyler and Avery Blackham, sisters (in-laws) Julianne Orband, Lorraine and Walter Kessler, Mary Pucek, cousins, nieces, nephews, godchildren, and special friends Anthony and Sandy Vavalle, and Father Brennan. Joanne was a member of St. Cyril's Church where she was active with Alter Rosary, Ladies Club, Bingo, Kitchen, former Festival President, Choir, Couples Club, and Hope Appeal. Joanne especially enjoyed bowling on Friday afternoon with her long-time team. Joanne graduated from Binghamton Central High School where she was a Majorette and a member of Sigma Kappa Lambda. She enjoyed a life-long career in finance. She loved watching her grandchildren play sports and perform theatre. In retirement, she enjoyed watching games shows and old westerns with Rudy and looked forward to planting marigolds every spring. She was an avid Notre Dame fan, cheering on her team every game. Her life was devoted to God and her family. She shared her faith with everyone she met and inspired people with her faith, kindness and generosity. Joanne was the best Wife, Mom, Grandma, and Great-Grandma you could ever have. We would like to thank the UHS Wilson Hospital Staff for their caring and kindness, and Mike and Jake from Superior Ambulance for getting Mom home safely. Special thanks to Dr. Julia Miller, Dr. Gregory Mullen, and Dr. Ramanujapuram Ramanujan.
