Gohar Hagopian

Gohar Hagopian left her earthly family to join our Heavenly Father on May 20, 2022. She was born on December 6, 2000. The world lost a beautiful human being who touched the lives of everyone who knew her with her innocence and heartwarming smile. Gohar means jewel in Armenian, and she was indeed a jewel that brought beauty and joy into all of our lives.

Gohar’s family extends their special thanks to the entire staff at the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, Pediatric pulmonology, Pediatric GI and UMass Family Medicine at UMass University Campus for their care and support of Gohar during the past 18 years. Special thanks also go to FamilyLIVES Shriver Nursing Services, with particular gratitude to Jackelyn Howe and Kathy Trainor.
