In June of 2022, we rushed our mom to the ER due to severe abdominal pain where after a CT scan they found a tumor in an inoperable area. Shortly after, she was diagnosed with Stage 3 Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. The following months were endless stays in the hospital for intensive chemotherapy treatments and ER visits for unfathomable pain. Our mom is the kindest, most energetic, and bravest soul we know. She lost her battle with cancer on 2/20/23. She was taken from us too soon. She had life still left in her to live and she thought of others until the very end.

We are asking that in lieu of flowers, our friends and family donate to this GoFundMe account and we will donate the proceeds to the Armenian Church in her name, to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and to help with the expenses of her memorial.

We appreciate everyone thinking of us in this time, however due to her cremation instead of a funeral, we thought it would be best to ask for the donations rather than flowers.
