    Anne N. Merian, daughter of the late Neshan and Arshalous Najarian,
    was born May 17, 1923, and passed away at her home on Feb. 14, 2013
    in Cambridge, Mass. She is survived by her three brothers and their
    wives, Michael and Alice Najarian, K. George and Dr. Carolann S.

    Najarian, and Nishan and Anahid Najarian, and by her nephews and
    nieces, Michael, Gary, Stephen, David, Robert, Richard, Patricia,
    Nancy, Sonia, and Ara, and their children.

    Anne graduated from Cambridge High and Latin, and then went on to
    college at Boston University. After graduation, she became a pioneer
    for women in the publishing field, working as an editor of medical
    textbooks for McGraw Hill in New York City until the early 1970~Rs. She
    then moved back to Cambridge where she continued working as an editor
    with Little Brown & Company, in their medical textbook division, until
    her retirement. She was widely recognized within her profession as
    an outstanding editor with many major medical textbooks to her credit.

    Anne loved to travel and did so with her family and friends, including
    a memorable trip to Armenia in the 1990~Rs. She took great pride
    in her Armenian heritage, and in that spirit willingly gave of her
    time and professional expertise by editing English texts for various
    people and organizations, including for the Zoryan Institute when it
    was still located in Cambridge.

    Despite the difficulties imposed by failing health, Anne maintained a
    wonderful sense of humor as well as a deep reverence for the written
    and spoken word until she died.

    Anne was a dear sister, loving aunt, and good friend who will be
    sorely missed and always remembered for her warm and generous spirit.

    Funeral services will be held on Feb. 25 at 11 a.m. at St. Stephen~Rs
    Armenian Apostolic Church, 38 Elton Ave., Watertown, Mass. At the
    family~Rs request, donations in lieu of flowers may be made to St.

    Stephen~Rs Church and St. Stephen~Rs Armenian Elementary School.
