Obituary Corinne Hodgson Adomian, mother of four and grandmother of four, passed away on April 5, 2024, after a brief illness.
Adomian spent her childhood on a dairy farm near Columbia Falls, Montana. She would later become an honorary Armenian by marriage, was baptized in the Armenian Apostolic church and was an integral part of the Armenian community in Los Angeles and Hollywood.
Corinne joined Hughes Aircraft where she met Dr. George Adomian. She said she married George because she knew it would never be boring.
With Corinne at his side, George earned his PhD. and advanced from engineer to professor and director of a research institute, while continuing to contribute greatly to America’s defense efforts. Meanwhile, Corinne continued to enthusiastically pursue her passions, studying fiction writing, Armenian language and history with author Leon Surmelian at UCLA.
With a fine scientific mind, she helped her husband to edit and publish his work, and through careful analysis, she guided her family through many health crises.
She is survived by her daughters Diane (Eduardo) and Laura (William), grandsons James, David, Daniel (Fahara), and Garrison, brother-in-law Jerry (Sue), daughter-in-law Sara, godchildren, nieces and nephews Connie, Robin, Mark, Julie, Lisa, Linda. She was predeceased by her husband, Dr. George Adomian, and her two sons, Haig (Sara) and Aram.
During her years with George and for nearly thirty years afterward, Corinne was a deeply involved champion and advocate of Armenian charities and causes worldwide. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Armenian National Security Institute (AANSI.org) – 330 N. Brand Blvd., Ste. 1250, Glendale, California 91203.
Services will be held at Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills, Burbank CA, in the Faith Chapel, Saturday April 20th, 2024, with visitation 10 am-1 pm, service at 2 pm and graveside service at 3 pm.
