DOROTHY M. DERHAGOPIAN

1926 - 2014

DerHAGOPIAN, Dorothy M. 88, died Thursday, May 15, 2014 in Scarborough, ME. She was born in Boston, MA, on April 1, 1926, the daughter of Charles and Grace Bedrosian of Watertown, MA. A caring and loving woman, Dorothy was fortunate to live a long and memorable life. An excellent cook, Dorothy loved to entertain and to share her many recipes with friends and relatives. She was also an avid bowler and continued to enjoy her favorite activity well into her 80s. Her greatest joy came from spending time with friends and family, especially her grandchildren. Dorothy was a doting grandmother and never missed an opportunity to do something special for her grandchildren. Dinner at Grammas was always eagerly anticipated and never disappointing. Dorothy was predeceased by her husband of 52 years, Zaven DerHagopian, and her sister, Marie Bedrosian of Watertown, MA. She is survived by her sister and brother-in-law, Elissa and John Putukian of Sudbury, MA, her daughter, Lucine DerHago- pian of Methuen, MA and her son and daughter-in-law, Zareh and Joanne DerHagopian of Falmouth, ME, grandchildren, Eric DerHagopian of San Diego CA, Alison DerHagopian of Boston, MA & Alex DerHago- pian of Falmouth, ME, several nieces and nephews along with many dear friends.
