Joanne Marie Delamater

Joanne Delamater, 75, of Copake, NY, passed away peacefully in her home on Thursday October 14, 2021.

She was born on November 12,1945 to the late Elmer & Marie (Case) Jarvis in Rochester, NY. She eventually relocated to Columbia County where she resided for the past 50+ years.

Joanne was a "Jane of all trades." She was well known in the community for her skilled plumbing assistance along side her life partner. Her talents went far beyond that: She was an active member of the Copake Grange, the Copake Park Commission, and the St. John's Lutheran Church. When she finally found time to relax, she enjoyed landscaping, baking, and feeding the squirrels and birds that visited her daily. She also enjoyed reading her favorite Amish love stories. On Saturday nights in the summer you could find her singing along to her favorite oldies songs at the Copake Park where she was famous for her brownie a la mode. 

She is survived by her eternal love, Christopher Quinby of Copake; her children, Donald Taft, Andrew Taft, Christina (John) Getman, Brandice (Wayne) Roberts, and Stephanie Poucher; her brother, Robert Jarvis, as well as three nephews, several grandchildren, and one great granddaughter. 

She will be dearly missed by everyone in her family as well as her community.

She was predeceased by her late husband, Donald Delamater, as well as her late sister-in-law, Feona Jarvis.

A celebration of life will be held on November 12,2021 from 5-8pm at the Copake Memorial Park building. All are welcome to bring their memories and stories to share.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in her name to St.John's Lutheran Church, Ancram, NY or to Peck and Peck Funeral Home, PO Box D, Copake NY 12516 to assist the family with expenses.
