Mary Tashjian

Mary graduated from Fresno Technical High School and worked at Eastern Department Store as a buyer before retiring to raise her family.

Mary will be remembered as a wonderful mother to her sons, Kevin and Larry, and a loving grandmother to her grandchildren Andrew, Matthew and Courtney. The family reflects fondly on countless family gatherings with Mary; occasions always marked by her warmth, love, generosity and delicious Armenian pilaf. Her spirit and memories will remain in our souls forever.

Mary is survived by her son, Larry, and his wife, Karen, from La Canada. She is also survived by Courtney and Preston Smith from Salt Lake City, Andrew and Krisen Tashjian from Pasadena, and Matthew Tashjian from Newport Beach.

Graveside Services will be held at Ararat Cemetery on Tuesday, October 1, 2013 at 11:00 am.

Remembrances may be made to the California Armenian Home, 6720 E. Kings Canyon Road Fresno, Calif. 93727, or Pilgrim Armenian Congregational Church, 3673 N. First Street, Fresno, Calif. 93726.
