June 20, 1953- July 1, 2024
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Joan Griffenkranz. She passed away peacefully in her home with her daughter. She is at peace and no longer suffering from illness. She has joined her parents, Marie Brown and Edward Griffenkranz, brothers Edward and Robert, and many other family members in heaven.
She was the oldest of six children. Her brothers Edward (Jeannette), William ( Francis), Robert, Erick, and Douglas (Sandra) were a big part of her life for many years.
She had one child, her daughter Denise Daly Dwyer (Frank), who was her pride and joy. Denise gave her five grandchildren, Zackary, Makayla, Abigail, Emilie, and Sophia. She loved watching her grandchildren dance and perform. She strongly supported her daughter’s dance studio and accomplishments after stopping dancing in 1994 after a bad slip and fall.
She was a proud member of IATSE Local One. She was a trailblazer for the women of the business as she started working in the field in the late 70s at the Lunt Fontaine Theater with her father and brother. She went on to work until she retired with disability in 2004.
She also leaves many relatives, aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, and a niece. Not to mention all of her Hell’s Kitchen family and her Local One Family, who were many in her lifetime.
A Memorial Service will be held at;
