Fay Deroian Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 8, 2018.

Fay Helen (Ninger) Deroian (age 91)-April 22, 1926-January 5, 2018

Fay Helen (Ninger) Deroian died peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family. Born in Union City, NJ., Fay married the late Herant Deroian and raised their children in Woodland Park, NJ., formerly known as West Paterson.

Fay was active in her church and community having served as President of the Women's Club and church Women's Guild. She had a love for dancing, cooking and sewing, and taught community sewing classes. She worked as Administrative Assistant to the Registrar at Montclair State University.

Fay and Herant moved to Venice, FL, 35 years ago, often telling everyone they lived in paradise. Fay was an active member of Bay Indies Evangelical Covenant Church, serving as church secretary for more than 20 years. She enjoyed ceramics, gardening, line dancing and frequent visits to Disneyworld with her family. In addition, she led the Curry Creek Cloggers and loved performing with the group.

Fay is survived by her daughters, Debra and husband Emil Pinto, Donna and husband Edward Nowak; her son, David Deroian and wife Pamela; three grandchildren, Christopher and Lauren Pinto and Alexander Nowak.

She leaves a legacy of a loving and energetic spirit, positive work ethic, and can-do attitude. She is greatly missed.

A Memorial Service to celebrate her life will be held on Monday, January 29, 2018, at 2:00 p.m. at The Evangelical Covenant Church of Bay Indies in Venice, FL.

Donations may be made in her name to:
Tidewell Hospice
