Sada Crismond

Sada Abrahamian Crismond, 86, died Wednesday, October 21, 2015 in Lynchburg. Born February 4, 1929 in Los Angeles, CA, she was the daughter of the late Boghos (Paul) Abrahamian and Haigho (Hazel) Agigian Abrahamian. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Paul R. Crismond and a brother, Agasi (Abe) Abrahamian. She is survived by her children, Stephen P. Boyajian and his wife Lisa, Robert A. Boyajian, and Denise H. Shifflett and her husband Jake; grandchildren, Summer L. Lira and her husband Andy, Michael R. Boyajian and his wife Lisa, Jacob R. Shifflett, and Lauren N. Shifflett; and great grandchildren, Alyssa Lira, Andrew Lira and Madison Boyajian. Mrs. Crismond retired as the HR Coordinator for Alderman Library at the University of Virginia. In retirement, she worked 11 years part-time in the Nature’s Market at Kroger-Rio Hill. She loved gardening, birds, flowers and spending time at the ocean. She loved her family most of all – an absolutely wonderful mom who was the fun mom in the neighborhood. She was always barefoot and never knew a stranger – embarrassingly so. She was a fabulous cook with her signature dish being Armenian Pilaf and potato salad. A funeral service will be conducted 11 a.m. Monday, October 26, 2015 at the Teague Chapel with a reception to immediately follow. The family will receive friends from 4 to 5 p.m. Sunday, October 25, 2015 at the Teague Funeral Home. Memorial contributions are suggested to the Alzheimer’s Association, 1160 Pepsi Place, Suite 306, Charlottesville, VA 22901.
