With sadness we share the news of the death of Doris Mardirosian, 90, on October 30, 2023.
A longtime faithful member of St. Mark’s, Teaneck, Doris's contributions to the diocese and the wider church are almost too numerous to count. At the diocesan level, she contributed her time and energy to the Annual Diocesan Convention for many years, especially as chair of the Arrangements committee. She was the principal coordinator for the annual North Porch baby shower benefiting local new mothers in need, for which she received an award for 22 years of faithful service. She also served as a Deputy to the Provincial Synod (1993, 1996, 2000, 2002), on the Cathedral Chapter (Classes of 1981 and 2005), and on Diocesan Council (Class of 2001). In The Episcopal Church, Doris was a longtime member of the diocesan chapter of Episcopal Church Women, serving as its President (2001-2008) and representing the Diocese of Newark at several of its Triennial meetings. She also was active with United Thank Offering. Read her full obituary.
