Board and Regional Executive Board, and was chairwoman of the ARS
~SArtemis~T Chapter of Philadelphia. She was involved in every aspect
of organizational life, from the grassroots to the podium.
Ungh. Queenie was a true, dedicated role model for many Ungerouis

work with a smile~Wand never expected praise in return.
Ungh. Queenie, and her husband, Unger Albert, spent their lives
promoting the ARS cause. They gave their blood, sweat, and tears to
the Armenian Relief Society. As they always said, the ~SARS is the
organization that has distinguished itself on every continent.~T

for language, song, dance, and history, while serving as an ARS
representative to the Armenian National Educational Council (ANEC).
She prepared a practical Armenian lesson book for Armenian-American
youngsters, and continued to develop her life long love of Armenian
music and poetry. She organized, developed, and promoted theatrical
productions, concerts, and other cultural programs.
Both Ung. Albert and Ungh. Takouhi made countless contribution to
the Armenian Relief Society~Rs projects and programs in the United
States and in Armenia.
Together, they were champion donors of the ARS Mother-Child Clinic
in Yerevan and served as benefactors to several other charities. Ungh.
Queenie~Rs love and attachment to the ARS was endless. Just last
September, she sponsored the ~SArtemis~T Chapter~Rs 102nd anniversary
