IN MEMORIAM
JOAN PISHVANOV
Joan Pishvanov passed away peacefully in
her sleep on August 24th, 2019, surrounded
by the remaining members of her family on
earth, son Michael and daughter Deborah. She
quietly passed from our arms into the arms of
those who preceded her in death, her husband
Nicholas Sr, and her son Nicholas Jr. Joan
leaves behind her son Michael, her daughter
Deborah, and three grandchildren, Nicholas III,
Kimm, and Kristin, who are the children of her
son Nick Jr. with his wife Ellen.
Joan was an only child, born on September
17, 1931, to parents who had immigrated from
Germany and settled in Elmira Heights New
York. She was raised there, graduated high
school as class valedictorian, and moved on to
attend Syracuse University. It was there that
she met the love of her life, Nick, and they were
married on January 23, 1954. They had three
children, Deborah, Nicholas, and Michael.
Since Nick was in the Air Force, they travelled
extensively, living in such places as Hawaii,
France, and England, just to name a few. Mom
adapted well to each place her family lived,
while ensuring that her children were happy
and got the most from each unique culture.
She made motherhood look effortless.
Joan and her family finally settled in Springfield,
VA, where Nick retired as a Lieutenant Colonel
in 1976. Joan made good use of her brilliance
and the master's degree she had earned at
Syracuse, and went to work as a reference
librarian at the City of Fairfax Regional Library
until she retired from there in the early 1990's.
Concurrently, she fulfilled her passion for
antiques and collectables, opening her own
antique shop, Joan Pishvanov's Antiques, in
Annandale,VA.
During her retirement, Joan enjoyed playing
tennis, taking Spanish courses at community
college, and yard sailing with her best friend
of 25 years, Peggy. They both loved reading
murder mysteries and would regularly explore
and support library sales together. They were
an inseparable and mischievous pair.
During her last years, Joan was expertly cared
for by caregivers from her Home Instead family.
We can't express in words our gratitude for
the love and kindness they showed her. In
addition, we are eternally grateful to her
"across the street" family of many years,
Deena, Fran, and their children, Katie, Briggy,
and Mandy.
Joan was exceptionally kind and thoughtful to
all who knew and loved her. The world has lost
a wonderful woman who will be remembered
always for her gracious and loving spirit. There
will be a memorial service this Thursday,
August 29, 2019, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at
Demaine Funeral Home, 5308 Backlick Road,
Springfield,VA.
