Desiree Nicole Griffin

Our sweet Desi passed peacefully in her sleep on May 25, 2024. Desiree Nicole Griffin, 34, was from Pawling, NY and resided in New Paltz, NY. She was born on September 26, 1989 in Poughkeepsie, NY.

She will be missed by her hundreds of family, friends and caregivers to whom we are eternally grateful for having in her life. Desiree loved music and movies with her favorites being Carly Simon, Selena and the Wizard of Oz. Fittingly, her favorite Disney character was Goofy and she was a lifelong fan of the NY Rangers. She also loved animals especially her cuddle bug family dogs, Bam Bam and Pebbles.

Desiree leaves behind her parents, Brian and Leticia Griffin of Pawling, NY; her brother Trevor Griffin and his wife Brittany; her nephew, Kaleb; her niece, Nina; her grandmother, Grace Gleason; her grandparents, Tomas and Maria Ofelia Mejorado; 18 aunts and uncles; and 24 cousins. Desiree has now joined her Aunt Sue, grandfather Warren, and step-grandfather, Steve in Heaven.

In her younger years she played soccer, was a Brownie and enjoyed swimming and eating cheeseburgers, fries and a coke! Her infectious laugh and love of life carried her through her 34-year journey on this earth.

Visitation will be held on Saturday, June 1, 2024 from 11 am – 1pm at the McHoul Funeral Home, Inc., 895 Route 82, Hopewell Junction. A graveside service will follow at 1:30 pm at Beekman Cemetery, 5 Church Street, Poughquag.
