Nina N. Trushkov
March 25, 2020
Nina, age 58, passed away on March 25, 2020 peacefully in her sleep. Nina was born November 20th, 1961 to Nikolai Fedorovich and Vera Petrovna Batazhan in a small village of Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. Nina is survived by her two sons, Daniel Trushkov and Ellis Trushkov. She was the youngest of her siblings, Pavel Batazhan (Nadezhda, dec.), Nikolay Batazhan, Jr., Peter Batazhan (Tamara), and Olga Gorbun (Nikolay). Growing up, Nina was a brilliant student who loved school and dreamed of becoming a physician. In school, she would help tutor other students who were struggling in their academics. She graduated with Honors from the school in Vinnytsia Oblast, Ukraine. Unfortunately, during this time in the U.S.S.R., Christians were persecuted for their faith. Nina being among them, refused to denounce her strong faith, therefore, prohibiting her from fulfilling her dreams of becoming a physician. She proceeded to obtain a degree from Tallinn Secondary Technical University in Tallinn, Estonia. Nina graduated with a diploma in the Engineering Industry Enterprises Layout. Nina immigrated to the United States of America in 1988, after her studies travelling across Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Ukraine, Italy, Estonia, and Belarus. Of the places she had visited in her life, Italy was by far her favorite. Nina settled down in North Philadelphia where she enjoyed gardening, welcoming visitors with home cooked meals, and helping those in need. Given her big heart, Nina was generous in donating food, clothes, and at times taking in those who needed help the most. Nina loved her children, and siblings along with nieces and nephews. Nina will remain forever in our hearts. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and mandatory quarantines, we have made the decision to postpone the public celebration of our mother, Nina. The date for Nina's memorialization will be announced on foleyfuneralhome.org and all social media platforms at a later date. Family, friends and all whose lives Nina touched will be invited to celebrate her life at that time.
