Lucy “Bobbi” Sapp, 82, born May 21, 1942 passed peacefully with her family by her side on April 2, 2025.
Bobbi was born in Saratoga Springs, NY, in 1942, the second of five children to Andrew and Lucy Desidoro. She grew up there alongside her beloved siblings and best friends (Linda and Curley) who she remained close to all her life. After graduating from Saratoga High in 1960, Bobbi went on to Canton Tech and graduated in 1962. She then graduated from RIT in 1965 with a degree in Food Administration. This is where she met her future husband John. They were married shortly after graduation and started a family (William in 1967 and Michelle in 1969). Bobbi loved being a mother and homemaker and made many lifelong friends on Crow Hill Drive in Perinton. As her kids grew up, she had a variety of interests, hobbies and jobs (skiing, sewing, fitness, cooking). One of Bobbi’s greatest joys was traveling with her husband, family and friends. She made wonderful new friends abroad & memories on trips to Europe, cruises all over the world and numerous trips in America. John & Bobbi continued to travel well into their 80’s. She made friends everywhere she went and was well loved by all. Bobbi loved being a grandmother to her family and friend’s kids, and treated them as her own. Bobbi remained active with her grandkids, most recently traveling and zip lining with Michelle and Ellie in October 2024. Bobbi’s ultimate love was volunteering and serving others. Either donating blood (17 gallons over her life), caring for babies at the Margaret House or helping other families at Saint’s Place. This action gave her life the greatest meaning. Bobbi has been reunited in eternal rest with her parents Andrew and Lucy Desidoro; her brother and sister, Andrew Desidoro and Amy Desidoro and many cherished relatives and friends. She is survived by her Husband John, son William (Lori), daughter Michelle Coleman (Christopher) her grandkids Thomas & Ellie Coleman of Columbus, OH, Sisters Jean Humiston (Gerald) of Glens Falls, NY and Angela Ovitt of Saratoga Springs and many nieces and nephews.
Calling Hours to celebrate Bobbi’s life will be Thursday April 10 from 4-6 pm at the Richard H. Keenan Funeral Home (Egypt Location) 7501 Pittsford Palmyra Rd, Fairport. Funeral Mass will be held on Friday, April 11, 2025 at 11 am at the St. John of Rochester, 8 Wickford Way, Fairport with a reception following at Casa Larga Vineyards, 2287 Turk Hill road, Fairport.

I have enjoyed Bobbi’s wit, smile and laugh and the many stories she shared. My plethora of memories go back years with line dancing, Bally’s Fitness and most recent the Perinton rec center.
I will miss her along with her many friends.
John and family,
My condolences, thoughts and prayers go out to all of you.
Although I only knew Bobbi for a short time I knew immediately when I met her that she was a lovely, caring and uplifting lady and made me feel accepted as an orphan family member.

John and family, I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Bobbi’s death. I will always remember all the good times in golf and bridge we shared. You all have my detest sympathy.
John and family, we are overcome with sadness of Bobbi’s passing. We marveled at her zest for life, family, friends, and especially John. She lit up every room she entered, became immediate friends with strangers. There will never be another one as wonderful, caring, loving as Bobbi. We so much enjoyed the dinners we had at your house or at restaurants with Dirk and Linda. I will always remember the numerous fishing trips and picking you up at home or on the Thruway with Bobbi always at your side wishing you good luck. We will never forget you and will love you always. Love Vern and Patti

They say you influence 100,000 people in your lifetime. I believe Bobbi influenced millions of people all around the world.
What an absolute joy Bobbi was to be around. Bobbis energy, laughter, joy for life, travel and smile were contagious.
Bobbi could brighten your darkest day with her entrance to a room.
Bobbi is the Mother of my Sister in law Michelle, whom is married to my Brother Chris.
Bobbi was my Grandmother in law. Always there to meet me with a warm embrace, and an amazing story of her recent adventures.
Bobbi made you feel as you were her very own family with ease. Bobbi cared so much about others happiness. I will carry her torch and passion for life with me always.
I will miss her very much.
Cheers to the one and only Bobbi!
Go with God Bobbi. Until we meet again.

Beautiful lady, Beautiful picture!
John & Family, I have to keep pinching myself because I can’t believe my best friend is no longer with us.
She was everything you would want in a friend plus more, always made you feel good and would help in anyway she could.
Bobbi my Friend,
you will be so very missed by me and many, many friends and family.
With our deepest sympathy,
Bob & Trudy Byrnes
John, I’m shocked and sad to hear of Bobbi’s passing. I just ran into her in Aldi, it seems like a month ago! She was the most welcoming person, she made you feel like you had known her forever. Over the past 48 years we would run into each other, lose touch for a while, reconnect and pick up right where we left off. Sending hugs and prayers.
Oh my, what a neighbor! Bobbi was a special, loving and always generous friend, who lived across the street on Conover Crossing. Her homemade butternut squash soup and delicious lemon cake were often delivered to our door, just to share. And a hearty dose of laughter and joy came with it. Both John and Bobbi have been wonderful, caring neighbors. Bobbi was a beloved volunteer at The Margaret Home, helping to watch the babies, as the moms went to appointments or work. She and a few volunteer friends dubbed themselves, “The Grandmas,” and there has been much sadness over her passing. She will be missed so terribly much!
I am saddened to hear about Bobbi… I came to know her from exercise classes at the Perinton Community Center over the past few years. She quickly became my favorite person to stand next to in those classes! I will miss her out going and fun personality. She was a kind and caring person who could always make you smile and laugh. Full of spunk and kept me in awe as to her still going strong beside me… I will greatly miss not having her there by my side to keep me laughing. May she be at rest and I’m sure she will keep the angels busy in Heaven!
John and Family,
The passing of Bobbi came as a complete shock to us. Our hearts are heavy with sadness. Bobbi was so full of life and had such an effervescence about her. We will be forever grateful for her friendship, kindness and lively sense of humor. We know she’s up above making the angels laugh and we know she’ll be keeping an eye on John and her family. We hope to have dinner reservations again someday in heaven.
With all our Love and Sympathy,
Dirk and Linda Madden
I met Bobbi through The Settlers and soon after that she moved across the street. How fortunate for Conover Crossing. Her vivaciousness and caring will always be remembered. How lucky we are to have known her. Our deepest sympathy.
Our dear lovely friend Bobbi, we are so sad at your passing. From the moment we met in that covered wagon in Alaska we have been honoured that you and John became our friends. We have wonderful memories of our times together on your visits to our home and the holidays we had in Europe. We will never forget you. Thank you for being our friends.
Our condolences to the entire family for your loss. Bobbi was one of the kindness person one could ever know. She will be missed by us all.
It is with deep sadness that I feel with the passing of Bobbi. During the time I was fortunate enough to know her and John I found Bobbi to be a person who was full with life. Her humor and warm friendly acceptance was contagious. Making everyone she met feel at ease was one of her most endearing characteristics. She will be missed and may she rest in peace!
I can’t believe Bobbie is gone. We were so looking forward to being almost neighbors, walks along the canal and traveling together to the golf course. Bobbie was so outgoing and friendly immediately striking up.a conversation with any stranger. She amazed me! What I love about Bobbie was her frankness, honesty, joy, generosity and her faith. She loved flowers, picking little snips of plants to stick in her pocket to take home from the golf course and then trying them out in her own garden. Her house
Is decorated with flowers and always open for dinner and a Prosecco. I am so saddened by her passing. I’ll miss you, Bobbie.

John and Family, I was very sorry to hear of your loss. My prayers and thoughts are always with you. Keep your memories close and remember a life well lived.
