Joann Niemiec (nee Gordon) age 48 of Fairfield on Friday, September 18, 2009 at the Morristown Memorial Hospital in Morristown. Her passing was quiet and peaceful and she just slipped away to a new tomorrow.
She was born in Pequannock and had lived in Pompton Lakes and Lambertville before moving to Fairfield.
She received her formal education at Pompton Lakes High School graduating with the Class of 1979. She then went on to study at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City where she majored in Fashion Design and Marketing and received an Associate’s Degree in Multi Media Art.
Joann was a natural born artist and designer. About 2 and 1/2 years ago she was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer and many of Joann’s days were filled with extraordinary challenges. Even with this great stress, she never complained to those around her, even though she would readily admit when asked that she did not feel well.
Joann had a unique sense of fashion all her own which accentuated her natural beauty. Using her creativity and fashion sense, Joann wore colorful head scarves that complimented her stunning appearance throughout the extensive course of her treatment.
She was gifted with a very quiet and reserved, perhaps shy, personality and especially enjoyed going on day trips with her Mother, Grandmother, and Daughter to have lunch and go shopping. Her Mother recalls having a wonderful relationship with Joann and when they were together having many laughs along the way.
Joann loved music, riding horseback and all animals especially her dog which she named Great Scott Gordon’s Goat (“Scottie”) a lovable little Scottish Terrier. He predeceased her in 2005. Her only child Sascha recalls a very special mother, best friend and confident that guided her life with love and kindness. Thanks Mom for being so special in my life.
Surviving are her cherished daughter Sascha Niemiec of Fairfield; her mother Betty Gordon of Fairfield and one brother Robert Gordon of Lambertville; her former husband Mario Niemiec of Clifton and her boy friend Peter Tucci of Fairfield.
Her father Robert Gordon predeceased her in 2002, and beloved Grandmother Jo Stewart in 2007. Funeral services will be held Wednesday, September 23, 2009 at 10 AM from the Vander May Wayne Colonial Funeral Home, 567 Ratzer Road, Wayne then to Saint Mary’s RC Church, Pompton Lakes where at 11 AM a Funeral Mass will be offered.
Those planning an expression of sympathy in Joann’s memory are asked to consider Sandy Rollman Ovarian Cancer Foundation, Inc., 2010 West Chester Pike, Suite 300, Havertown, PA 19083.
