It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Yester Torikian born Demirdjian, who passed away peacefully on April 25, 2026, at the age of 79, surrounded by the love of her family.

Born on September 15, 1946, Yester was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother whose life was centered around caring for those she loved. She will be remembered for her gentle spirit, her strength, and the warmth she brought into every room. Her presence was a source of comfort and love to her family, and her absence will be deeply felt.

She is lovingly remembered by her husband, Antoine Torikian, with whom she shared a lifetime of cherished memories; her son, Serge Torikian; her daughter, Jouana Torikian, and her son-in-law, Hovig Kehyayan. She was a devoted and proud grandmother to Jordan Torikian and Raffi and Tatiana Kehyayan, who brought her endless joy and pride.

Yester will also be fondly remembered by her extended families: the Torikian family in Lebanon and Canada, the Demirdjian family in California, and the Ahmarani family in Egypt, as well as many dear friends whose lives were touched by her kindness and generosity.

Her legacy is one of love, devotion, and quiet strength. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who knew and loved her.

May she rest in eternal peace.
