Obituary
Diana “Anahid” (Ohanian) Aykanian, 90, beloved wife of 57 years of Ara Aykanian, who predeceased her in 2016, died Tuesday, April 28, 2020 of complications related to COVID-19…
Although Diana never went to college, she was an avid reader starting as a young girl, when the public library was a refuge for her. Like her husband, who had also grown up in poverty and experienced the trauma of the Armenian Genocide, Diana never forgot the poor and disenfranchised with whom she always identified and sought to help in any way that she could. She took pride in buying food and clothing and personally delivering them to those in need. She and her husband also sponsored orphaned children in Armenia and were generous supporters of the Armenian church and other Armenian organizations throughout their lifetimes.
