Hermine Kazanjian, 89, passed away on September 7, 2024. She was born February 22, 1935 in Achrafieh, Lebanon, the daughter of Serpouhie and Hagop Sarafian. Her Christian faith was very important to her, as she read the Bible every day, prayed for her loved ones, and attended Sunday service.

Hermine immigrated to Fresno, CA with her family in December 1983. When her husband, Nazar Kazanjian, passed away shortly after they arrived in Fresno, she dedicated her life in supporting her family. She had a long, successful career as a seamstress, working for many different department stores. She made many sacrifices along the way and always put others first. She was a true inspiration for all of us.

In her free time, she loved spending time with her children and grandchildren. She also enjoyed storytelling, cooking authentic Armenian food, and listening to music. She was an exceptional mother figure, and she will be forever missed.

Hermine will be remembered for her kindness, generosity, radiant smile, and as a devoted, loving mother and grandmother. She is survived by her two children, Manuel Kazanjian and Maral Kordoghlanian, her three grandchildren, Dr. Kristina Kordoghlanian, Alexander Kazanjian, and Maximus Kazanjian, and the Sarafian Family.

Services will be held on Thursday, September 19, 2024 at 10:00am at Holy Trinity Armenian Apostolic Church in Fresno, CA. Graveside burial will follow at Masis Ararat Armenian Cemetery in Fresno, California
