Nature Done Wright

Armene (Queenie) Norian’s near daily walks through the Allendale Celery Farm have come to an end. Her next walks will be in wondrous surroundings with family and friends she has not seen in a long time. 

Surely her first walking companion will be her husband of 45 years, Haig Norian, with whom she raised 4 children: Maral Perrotta, Lori Norian, Raffi Norian, Garo Norian, and enjoyed welcoming spouses Sam Perrotta, Derrick Chin, Luciana Norian, Diana Norian, as well as nine grandchildren into the family she cultivated and nurtured with great pride and care. 

Born Armene Allalemdjian on June 15th, 1939 in New York, New York, she was the daughter of Souren and Lucy Allalemdjian. She graduated from Green Mountain College with a degree in art and worked as a graphic artist for American Girl magazine and Condé Nast before having her children.  She is survived by her twin, Penie Papazian and siblings Mihran Allalemdjian, Vahe Allalemdjian, Pookie Allalemdjian, Veron Allalemdjian, Vartan Allalemdjian and Ardem Schmelke.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Feb 17th at 11 am at West Side Presbyterian Church, 6 South Monroe St., Ridgewood NJ. Immediately following the service, a reception will be held at the church in DePhillips Hall. 

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Fyke Nature Association online at www.fykenature.org or via mail to PO Box 141, Ramsey, NJ 07446.
