Dorothy Anne KEVERIAN

KEVERIAN, Dorothy Anne (Moranian) Beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and friend, passed away peacefully, at the age of 95.

Born on August 25,1930, in Arlington, Massachusetts, Dorothy was the cherished daughter of Manuel and Osanna Moranian, survivors of the Armenian Genocide. Their courage and resilience, along with the close bonds of their extended family, shaped Dorothy's life. She grew up surrounded by dozens of uncles, aunts and cousins, all of whom shared meals, stories and traditions that remained dear to her throughout her life.

Dorothy is survived by her devoted husband of 73 years, Jack Keverian. Together, they raised three children: George (with wife, Diane), Kenneth (with wife, Dorota) and Lisann (with husband, Doug Dillon). She was the proud grandmother of 11 – Niari, Hagop, Ani, Lori, Katrina, Tanya, Kristine, Ryan, Kevin, Michael and Kelsey; and a great-grandmother of six – Talia, Dominic, Gemma, Cyrus, Hudson and Michael – each of whom she adored and cherished. More than anything, she saw her greatest purpose in raising her children and grandchildren and creating a home that was nurturing.

Dorothy will be remembered as a positive, fun-loving and caring woman who made the lives of those around her better simply by being herself. Her spirit will live on in the memories, traditions and love she leaves behind.
