JOAN O. SCHWAB

Joan Olivia Schwab died Tuesday, Aug. 30, 1994, in Riverside Regional Medical Center after a very short illness.

She is survived by her father, Joel H. Schwab; a sister, Fizzy Berlin of Virginia Beach; two brothers, Jonathan Schwab of Carrollton and Philip Schwab of Fort Lauderdale, Fla.; a niece, Jessica Berlin; and her very dear friend, Lil Sagman.

A graveside service will be conducted at 11 a.m. today in Hebrew Cemetery, Hampton, by Rabbi Israel Grama of New York. The family will be at the residence in Newport News.
