Joan Helen Gnida Ponesse of New Windsor, a retired Realtor for Mike Reis
Realtors, entered into eternal rest on Friday, January 31, 2020 surrounded by
her loving family. She was 77. Daughter of the late John and Anne (Duch) Gnida,
Joan was born on July 31, 1942 in the Town of Newburgh. Joan was a graduate of
Newburgh Free Academy. She married her beloved husband, Carl A. Ponesse in April
1965, who survives at home. Joan was predeceased by both her parents and sister
Mary Ann Fabiano. Joan was a creative, energetic, funny, and iron-willed woman
who succeeded at many occupations in her life including Doctor’s assistant,
beautician, sales, real estate, and landlord. She brought an intensity,
strength, and unique perspective to everything she touched and all she met. She
did not go quietly into that good night. In addition to her loving husband Carl,
Joan is survived by her son, Carl J. Ponesse and his wife, Jeannette Kennedy-Ponesse
of New Windsor; her sister, Veronica Taylor, of the Town of Newburgh, and
thirty-one special nieces and nephews whom she cherished, most notably Steven
Ponesse of New Windsor; and many loving friends. Visitation will be held from 5
to 8 pm on Tuesday, February 4 at Brooks Funeral Home, 481 Gidney Ave. Newburgh,
NY. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 am on Wednesday,
February 5 at St. Francis of Assisi Church, 145 Benkard Ave., Newburgh. Burial
will follow in Calvary Cemetery, New Windsor.
