KEVORKIAN, Sarah - February 19, 1922 - October 10, 2004 Sarah Kevorkian
entered peacefully into rest on October 10, 2004, in Walnut Creek,
CA, after a long illness. She was 82 years old. Born on February
19, 1922, in Chicago, IL, to Sarah and Baghdasar Kevorkian, she
attended Gregory Elementary and John Marshall High School. In 1944,
she moved with her family to Oakland, CA, where she lived for more
than 40 years. During that time, she worked at the Alameda County
Courthouse. In 1989, she moved to Rossmoor where she enjoyed many more
happy years. "Auntie Sarah" was charismatic, fun-loving, and adored by
her family - especially her many nieces and nephews. She enjoyed an
active life including the arts, travel, dancing, cooking, gardening,
and her church and Bible study. There was no physical difficulty that
kept her from enjoying life to its fullest, and in her later years she
participated in many social activities at Rossmoor. She was preceded
in death by her beloved sisters, Alice K. Malin and Rose Agajan. She
is survived by her devoted brother, Harry, and sister-in-law, Betty
Kevorkian, and their children and families: Christopher, Nancy, Kate
and Cal Kevorkian; Matthew, Susan, Ryan, Madeline and Kyle Kevorkian;
Kevin, Susie, Connor, Tess and Annie Kevorkian; and niece, Elizabeth
Kevorkian. She is also survived by her loving niece, Carol Rustigian
and husband, George, and their children and families: Beth (Rustigian),
Jim, Melanie and Michael Broussalian; Caroline (Rustigian) and Marc
Bruderer; and Paul Rustigian. She will be remembered for her vibrant
spirit by her niece, Sue Malin, and her devoted nephew, Scott Malin,
and his wife, Pam, and their children Robbie, Andrea and Jared. A
Visitation will be held Thursday, October 14, 2004, from 5 to 7 p.m. at
Oakmont Mortuary, 2099 Reliez Valley Road, Lafayette. Friends and
family are invited to a Funeral Service on Friday, October 15, 2004,
