Nora Kocharyan Aliyeva

Nora Kocharyan Aliyeva passed away on January 17, 2026, in the presence of her loving husband – on the day of their 51st wedding anniversary. Even in her final moments, she was surrounded by the love that defined her life.

She leaves behind her devoted husband, three daughters, five grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren, each of whom carries her love, strength, and kindness forward.

Nora was born in Baku on May 16, 1940. She lived a full and meaningful life, rich in family, music, and service to others. In 1991, she immigrated to the United States with her husband and youngest daughter, bravely starting over to build a better future for her family. She worked tirelessly, sometimes holding three jobs at once, so her family could have opportunities she once only dreamed of.

Nora was a pianist, a teacher, a loving wife, and a deeply caring mother. She was optimistic, joyful, and fun to be around. Her home and her heart were always open. She helped those in need without hesitation and never turned away anyone who needed a hand, a meal, a kind word, or encouragement.

Above all, Nora was love in action. She showed it through sacrifice, patience, laughter, generosity, and unwavering devotion to her family. Her presence made people feel safe, seen, and cared for. Though her physical presence is gone, her spirit lives on in every life she touched.

She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
