J\"\"oshua \u201cJolyne\u201d J. Lapham \u2013 28 \u2013 of 6 Apple St., Arkport, died unexpectedly Wednesday afternoon (August 12, 2020) at home.<\/p>\n

She was born in Hornell, NY on May 6, 1992, and began her journey of coming out as a transwoman on June 24, 2020.<\/p>\n

Jolyne grew up in Jasper and was a graduate of Jasper-Troupsburg Central School\u00a0 (class of 2010).\u00a0\u00a0 She then graduated from Corning Community College with her Associates degree and later from Alfred University with a Bachelor\u2019s Degree, evidence of her dedication to the scientific world.<\/p>\n

As a lover of knowledge, learning, and the intellectual world, the only thing that gave her greater pleasure than studying a textbook, was spending every second possible with her children. When not studying and parenting, you could find her surrounded by her plants or off doing one of her newest scientific experiments.<\/p>\n

She was preceded in death by her maternal grandfather, Gilmore Creelman; and paternal grandparents, Leslie\u00a0 & Dolores Lapham.<\/p>\n

Jolyne married on May 2, 2014 to Lori Blake, whom is still surviving.\u00a0 Also surviving are her 3 beautiful children that embody her best qualities: Emma, Lincoln & Julianna; her mother, Carol Lapham of Jasper; her father, James Lapham of Jasper; 2 brothers, Kevin Lapham and Justin Lapham, both of Jasper; maternal grandmother, Marcia Creelman of Jasper; along with many close aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews.<\/p>\n

At Jolyne\u2019s request there will be no calling hours.\u00a0 A \u201cCelebration of Life\u201d will be held at a later date.<\/p>\n

Funeral arrangements are in care of the Dagon Funeral Home, 38 Church St., Hornell, NY<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Jolyne\u2019s family request that in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in her name be made to the National Black Justice Coalition, Post Office Box 71395 Washington,\u00a0 DC\u00a0 20024, mightycause.com\/organization\/nbjc<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
