Hermine Kazanjian Death: Beloved Mother, Grandmother, and Friend Passes Away at 89, Leaving Behind a Legacy of Resilience and Faith
We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Hermine Kazanjian, a devoted mother, grandmother, and friend to many, on September 7, 2024, at the age of 89. Hermine’s life was a testament to her unwavering resilience, faith, and affection, which inspired countless individuals throughout her life.
Born in Achrafieh, Lebanon, on February 21, 1935, Hermine was the daughter of Hagop Sarafian and Serpouhi. Her Christian faith was a fundamental aspect of her life, and she was renowned for her daily commitment to reading the Bible and praying for those she loved.
Hermine’s life was marked by extraordinary fortitude and dedication. After losing her spouse, Nazar Kazanjian, shortly after their arrival in Fresno in December 1983, she demonstrated remarkable strength by dedicating her life to providing for her family. Her successful and enduring career as a seamstress spanned various department stores, and her life was characterized by a steadfast dedication to the welfare of those around her.
Hermine’s presence brought joy and tenderness to those who knew her, whether through her delight in storytelling, her love of preparing traditional Armenian meals, or her desire to share music with her family. She is survived by her two children, three grandchildren, and extended family, who will always cherish her radiant smile, compassion, and generosity.
Kristina Kordoghlanian has organized a fundraiser in honor of Hermine to provide assistance to families in Lebanon, a cause that was particularly meaningful to her. Although she was unable to return to her homeland, her aspiration was always to provide aid to those in need. The fundraiser aims to raise $500, with all proceeds being donated to families in Lebanon.
The family and community are left with a profound vacancy in their souls as a result of Hermine’s departure. May her memory be a source of blessing, and may her spirit continue to thrive through the acts of compassion she inspired.
Hermine Kazanjian’s family is in our thoughts and prayers during this challenging period. We offer our prayers for the strength and solace that her loved ones will need as they adjust to their loss.
May Hermine’s legacy of resilience, faith, and affection continue to inspire others to live a life of purpose and compassion.
We will continue to keep Hermine Kazanjian’s loved ones in our thoughts and prayers as they celebrate her life and legacy.
May Hermine’s memory be a blessing to all who knew her, and may her spirit continue to thrive through the countless lives she touched.
