Rose Adrian Boyajian, 79, of Monroe Township passed away on April 11, 2023. She was born in Newark, NJ to Andrew B. and Rose Boyajian and grew up in Belleville with her three brothers. The family relocated to Hasbrouck Heights in 1955. Adrian graduated from Hasbrouck Heights High School in 1961. Adrian worked as a case secretary for the NJ State Police in Cranbury, NJ for many years before her retirement.
Adrian leaves behind her brothers: Andrew G. Boyajian, Gilbert (Terry) Boyajian and William (Karen) Boyajian. She was a loving aunt to nine nieces and nephews: Julie Vitchell, Brian Boyajian, Amy Mandelbaum, Peter Boyajian, Elizabeth Boyajian, Christine Boyajian, Lisa Banning, Kevin Boyajian and Renae Boyajian. Adrian was also a loving great aunt to Aubrey, Luke, Danny, Olivia, Norah and Ella.
Despite failing health in recent years Adrian was always interested in the joy-filled moments her family celebrated like weddings and arrivals of new babies. She enjoyed crocheting and taught that hobby to her nieces. She also fostered a love for reading and generously supplied the kids with many books over the years. She had an interest in Hasbrouck Heights sports, especially Friday night football games. After the death of her parents Adrian lived alone but would often share her fond memories of childhood days with cousins, aunts and uncles.
