Pauline DeVido

May 10, 1948-June 8, 2016

Pauline Ann DeVido, age 68, passed away, peacefully, with her children and grandchildren at her side after a long battle with cancer on June 8th. She was 68 and spent the last several years living in Ashburn, in close proximity to her children and grandchildren.

Survivors include her husband of 47 years, Greg; her children, Mark (Heather) and Brian (Sarah) DeVido, both of Ashburn and Kristen (Dan) Seaman, of Leesburg; eight grandchildren; a brother, John Kohler of Medford, NJ and too many friends to count. Pauline’s warm, generous spirit always made any room she was in brighter.

A Celebration of Life event was held in Ashburn on July 9th for family and friends.

Pauline was born in New Jersey, grew up in College Park, Maryland and attended college at East Carolina University. She also lived in Greensboro, NC and Herndon, VA before moving to Ashburn several years ago. She was involved with Young Life for several years and had a large circle of friends who always spoke of her warmth and compassion. She was dearly loved by her grandchildren, who she always called “the highlights of her life” and her spirit will no doubt live on in them.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Pauline’s name to the American Cancer Society, donate.cancer.org or the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank brafb.org.
