Linda Gumuchian’s 100th Birthday Celebration

Posted on by Parish Council

We had a wonderful time celebrating Linda Gumuchian’s 100th birthday at the St Vartan Armenian Church of BC community centre!

Congratulatory letters from His Majesty King Charles III and Her Majesty Queen Camilla, as well as from Governor General of Canada, Mary Simon; Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Armenia to Canada, Anahit Harutunyan; His Grace Bishop Abgar Hovakimyan, Primate of the Armenian Holy Apostolic Church Canadian Diocese and Archbishop Hovan Derderian, Western Diocese of the Armenian Church of North America were testaments for Linda Gumuchian’s active role in the community and dedication to education, family values and flourishing community. 

Mrs. Linda was surrounded by her family members and friends, who reflected on Mrs. Linda’s incredible life. Suren Ghazaryan treated us to lovely piano performances at the celebration. An interview prepared by Mariana Budaghyan and Sunday School Children and a surprise poem by a young member of our community Samvel Atoyan brought warmth and joy to the occasion.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special occasion. Your presence made the day truly memorable. 

Here’s to Linda Gumuchian and the legacy she continues to inspire in our community!
