Nancy Ajemian, MD

Nancy Ajemian, M.D., beloved sister, aunt and friend, passed away on April 7, 2020. Nancy was raised in Kalamazoo, Michigan. She graduated in 1978 from Loy Norrix High School, received her Bachelor of Science Degree from the University of Southern California and a Medical Degree from the American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine. She was a board certified physician in Family Medicine for over 30 years in Grosse Pointe, MI. Nancy was a well-respected doctor with Beaumont Hospital, where she lovingly served the health needs of children and families. Nancy proudly served in leadership positions on executive medical boards and committees. She received multiple awards, honors and recognitions over the years. Dr. Ajemian's legacy is one of commitment and compassion. Close to Nancy's heart was her childhood cottage at Canadian Lakes where she found joy spending time with family and friends. A typical day included her morning coffee in the gazebo, buying baked goods at the local Amish farm, grilling, boating, and cooking s'mores on the bonfire. She found comfort reflecting on the years spent with her family laughing, skiing, playing tennis, canoeing and jumping off the rope-swing. Her other passions included going to estate sales, jewelry making, traveling and painting. Nancy took great pride in her Armenian heritage by honoring her ancestor's history and culture through travel, cooking and enjoying the foods of Armenia, especially her dad's baklava, made from an old family recipe. Nancy was predeceased by her parents, Edward and Dorothy Ajemian. She is survived by her sisters Liz Ajemian Poole and Sue Ajemian Merkel, and six nieces and nephews. A celebration of life will take place when it is safe to travel.
