Jo-Ann (LaLonde) Bruce, 77, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, May 5, 2015 at the Glens Falls Hospital with her family by her side.

Bruce, and Brian J. Bruce, her grandchildren; Fred Blanchard III and his wife Michelle, Tesha Drinkwine and her husband Luke, Anne Blanchard and her fiancé Cody Fulmer, Erin Blanchard, Adam Seybolt and his wife Sarah, Craig Seybolt and his wife Antoinette, Jarrod Seybolt, and Brent Seybolt, her great-grandchildren; Fred Blanchard IV, Alexander Blanchard, Wesley and Aiden Rhodes, Lyric Fulmer, Braeden and Eleanor Seybolt, and Madelyn, Owen, and Blake Seybolt, as well as her sister Peg Fisher and her husband Jim, and her brothers, Jay LaLonde and his wife Marlene, and Terry LaLonde and his wife Beth, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
