It is with deep love and heartbreak that we announce the passing of our beloved Bayzar Kanar.

Bayzar was more than a mother — she was a best friend, a safe place, and the heart of our home. She lived her life with quiet strength, grace, and a warmth that made everyone around her feel seen, comforted, and deeply loved. Her presence was steady, her love unconditional, and her spirit unforgettable.

She dedicated her life to her family, always putting others before herself. To know her was to feel cared for, protected, and embraced with a rare and genuine kindness.

She is lovingly remembered by her daughter, Natalie, her greatest pride and closest companion, whose bond with her was built on love, friendship, and unwavering devotion.

She is also deeply mourned by her brother Krikor Kanar and his wife Armine; her nephew Haigo Kanar and his wife Nadia; her extended families, the Adjeleian and Oulousian families; and Jennifer “Jenny” Damianov, her unofficial adopted daughter, whom she loved wholeheartedly and as her own.

Bayzar passed peacefully, surrounded by love, after a long and courageous journey. She carried herself with strength and dignity until her final moments.

Though she is no longer physically with us, she lives on in every memory, every lesson, and every piece of love she gave so freely.

She will be missed beyond words and loved for eternity.
