Virginia Pichon Obituary

Virginia M. Pichon, born in Beacon Falls, Connecticut to Arthur and Frances Doolittle on April 7, 1925. In 1951 she met and married Delphin J. Pichon (deceased).

Virginia loved traveling and filled her home with Indian and European treasures. Her last years were spent with her beloved companion Robert Wyman in Pagosa Springs surrounded by stunning mountains and wonderful friends and neighbors. Their dream home was filled with love and laughter. All reveled in her sense of humor, authenticity and unconditional love, that will be missed.

Virginia is survived by 3 children, 6 grandchildren and two great grandchildren; son Douglas, his daughter Briana (James) Havenner, Brendan (Ashley) Pichon, their children Elizabeth and Braden; Son Kurt Pichon, his daughter Taylor; daughter Deirdre Buda (Dominick) and their children Flaminia, Gabriel and Rachelle. Also survived by siblings Alan and Mark Doolittle from Connecticut.

Virginia touched everyone who knew her. The family was so blessed to have had a matriarch of her stature.

Private family services have already been held.
