Arpi had a lovely apartment on the sixth floor of Linden Ponds. Her greatest pleasure was to sit in her living room and watch the strand of trees. Because of the pandemic, she was not able to join any clubs or organizations. However, there were many good and wonderful "classy" events and entertainments; always, good food.
For her entire professional career, Arpi was an educator in the Quincy Public Schools. First as a kindergarden teacher and eventually teaching first grade students. A colleague said that she always found something special in her students and helped them develop accordingly. She was dedicated to her profession and her students. Arpi lived a healthy life and she was never ill until she contracted pneumonia which led to other medical problems that could not be overcome.
Arpi is survived by her sister, Edna Hovagimian, her niece, Maria Wind and family (N.J.), Dr. Sargon Donabed and family (MA), George Donabed and family (MA), Asadourian and Kashish family (N.J.), Albert Melikian (R.I.), Haig family (CA), Hermine Adamian and family (MA), Susan Covo and family (MA). She was predeceased by her parents , Hagop and Mary Hovagimian, her sisters, Sona Hovagimian and Rose Hovagimian Salogiannis and many friends, neighbors and colleagues.
Private graveside services were held on Saturday, January 2, 2021, at Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge. A memorial meal will be held after Easter.
In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be made to Saint James Armenian Church, 465 Mount Auburn Street, Watertown, MA 02472.
