Joan G. Mattle, 65 of Bergen, passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, at Crossroads House on Tuesday, August 20, 2024.  She was the best Wife, Mom, Grandma, Gigi, Sister, Aunt, Cousin and Friend. She was always teaching those around her- whether it was little known facts or how to enjoy life no matter what was happening. She had a smile for everyone and always found the good in people. 

Joan was born in Batavia on July 27, 1959 to the late Henry and Estelle (Glomb) Puls. Being the 8th of ten children, she was an Aunt the day she was born. Her childhood playmates were plentiful in siblings, nieces, nephews and friends. She met John, her loving husband of 49 years in Oakfield at the tennis courts when she was just 15 years old. He was her best friend who made her laugh every day. They showed their children and all around them what a loving and fun relationship should be. 

Joan is survived by her husband, John Mattle, her children, Adam Mattle of Batavia, Sarah (Michael) West of Brockport and Paul Mattle (Cherokee Roe) of Bergen, her grandchildren, Sally (Dakota) Reamer, William Mattle, Ethan, Emma and Andrew West, and great-grandchildren, Hudson, Colby and Paisley. She is survived by 6 siblings Mary Louise Peterson Mumford of Oakfield, Anne McKernon of NM., Susan Rouse of Lockport, Tina McCoy of LeRoy, Patricia Gibson of Oakfield and John Puls of Wilson and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. She is predeceased by her brothers; David Puls, Daniel Puls and Stephen Puls.   

Everyone who knew her knew how much she loved her babies! Biological or “adopted”, young or old, she loved them so much. She lived for playing with them and making sure they were getting what they needed in their lives. 

Joan got her COTA degree in her late 30’s and the kids that she worked with were like family to her. She cared for them as fiercely as she cared for her own kids. Although she lived with cancer her last 5 years, she didn’t let that define her. She arranged family time and different activities around her treatments- craft fairs to sell her mittens, garage sales, lunches at the Salvation Army and Sunday Sundaes to name a few.

We will miss Joan every day, but her memory will live on in the hearts of all who loved her.

Dennis valued all of his family and took delight in welcoming them to his “crown and glory” home and spending time with them. 

Dennis owned and operated Proline General Contracting, where he would travel and replace phone booths all over the region.  After the landline telephone model dwindled, he then enjoyed working for Dilcher Excavating & Contracting.  In retirement he loved helping grow Sapienza Design, his son Will’s business.

Dennis is survived by his loving wife of 41 years, Anne (Muldoon) Sapienza; sons, William Joseph Sapienza (Eliana), Andrew Dennis Muldoon (Chloe); grandson, Luca Alberto Sapienza; siblings Lee (Rachel) Sapienza, Joann (Michael) Starowitz, Karen (Joel) Hall; sisters-in-law Kathleen Sapienza of Buffalo, Kathy Swizdor of North Carolina, Susan Muldoon of Auburn and mother-in-law Joan Muldoon of Auburn; niece Kaitlyn (Paul) Chmielowiec; and nephews Matthew (Amy) Starowitz and Ethan Hall; along with many, many loving friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents, brother Donald, and niece, Kara Hall. 

Friends and family may call on Wednesday from 2 to 5 p.m. at H.E. Turner & Co., Funeral Home, 51 S. Lake Street, Bergen, NY, with a service held at 5 pm and reception to follow.
