ANDOVER - Vera (Hagopian) Konjoian of Andover, 88, passed away peacefully on Monday, August 21, surrounded by her loving family. She was born on September 22, 1929, daughter of Peter and Julia Hagopian, who owned a farm on Chandler Road in West Andover where Vera was born.

As a child, Vera and her sisters worked effortlessly on the farm alongside her parents growing and nurturing flowers, plants and vegetables. In 1948, Vera married Michael Konjoian, and together they built their first greenhouse and created a thriving flower business whose reputation achieved national recognition. Vera and her husband raised three sons, David, Peter, and Michael. The environment they created drew all three of their sons back to the farm and they worked together as a family continuing to build the business that is still in operation today.

Surviving family members include her loving sons, David and wife Rosalie, Peter and wife Tama, and Michael Jr.; seven cherished grandchildren, Matthew, Brett, Jonathan, Bristol, Julianne, Jennifer and Michael; and she was lucky enough to enjoy her four great-grandchildren, Margot, Eloise, Bennett, and Sadie.

Vera was laid to rest in the Konjoian Family Lot of West Parish Cemetery, Andover. Contributions may be made in Vera’s memory to the charity of your choice. Arrangements by Driscoll Funeral Home, 309 So. Main Street, Haverhill. For guestbook, please visit www.driscollcares.com.
