Obituary of Joan B. Dobricki

Joan Bennett Dobricki (born March 24, 1932, East Hampton, New York) passed away quietly in her beloved home on Wolf Hollow Road on Monday morning, November 2nd.   She was the wife of Raymond Dobricki, owner of Dobricki Insurance Agency, also deceased.

Joan enjoyed working in her garden and was able to do that until quite recently with the help of her devoted son, John, owner of Rockin’ Cool Cookie Co., a local bakery, who lived with her and cared for her until she passed away this week.

Joan was a graduate of Oneonta State Teacher’s College  where she was a member of the Arethusa Sorority, and taught grammar school for several years before starting her family.  She also worked at Dobricki Insurance Agency.

Joan loved cooking and was a member of several Syracuse based gourmet clubs.
