Nancy was their oldest child. She lived in the Guzelian household in Brookline until she passed away in 2021. Nancy made an impact in the world, especially in the Armenian community. Nancy who earned her PhD, was a teacher in the Boston Public Schools for many years and loved art. Most importantly, Nancy was a philanthropist, and was involved in Armenian youth and education organizations, including building a school in the town of Stepanakert in Artsakh.
Vartkes proudly served in the US Army during the Korean War. He then married Audrey Welch, and they raised two children in Brookline. Today, their older son, Andrew, is an active member at St. Stephens church, and is on the board of trustees, just as Vartkes once was. His younger son lives in California and is a screenwriter and has written for Disney and other popular children's TV shows including Ned's Declassified, Power Rangers and others.
Astor graduated from Northeastern University and worked for several large companies in Massachusetts including Raytheon Corporation and General Dynamics. He raised three children in Dedham, Massachusetts, alongside his wife, Lucy. He was an active member of the Armenian Youth Federation, served on the Board of Trustees at St. Stephens Church, and was instrumental in starting the St Stephen's bilingual elementary school in 1985. He has made sure to keep the Armenian culture alive though his children and grandchildren.
While, Nancy did not have children, Astor and Vartkes raised their children in the Armenian community. The influence that Makrouhie and Mihran had on their children, has been passed down, all the way to their great-grandchildren. Today, Makrouhie and Mihran's great-grandchildren are active members of the Armenian Youth Federation, and because of Makrouhie, the Armenian traditions and culture will never die in the Guzelian family.
Makrouhie's resilience, perseverance, and pride lives on through her descendants.
