Joanne Bruno passed away on May 4, 2024, four days shy of her 78th birthday, at her New City home of 56 years surrounded by her loving daughters Laura Meredith, Robin Dellolio, Susan Gillick and Paula Rosado. She leaves behind her beloved grandchildren, Christopher and Kevin Meredith, Charlie, Chase and Josephine Gillick, and her sons-in-law Chris Meredith, John Dellolio, Ted Gillick and Ely Rosado. She is predeceased by her loving husband of 53 years, Robert Bruno, who passed away in 2019.
Joanne was a fixture at Rockland Country Day School in Congers for nearly 2 decades. She was known for dressing up for Halloween and being a bright and cheery face for the boys and girls in the lower school upon their arrival every day.
It’s not surprising to anyone who knew her that Joanne was a mother at heart. Nothing gave her greater joy, other than maybe Elvis Presley, than being with “her girls” and her grandchildren. We will miss her dearly.
Visitation and a memorial service will be held Saturday, May 11th from 4 – 7:30pm at Higgins Funeral Home in New City, NY.
