Anne (Hammond) Khatchadurian, 86, of Marblehead passed away peacefully on Friday, Dec. 12, 2025.
She was the daughter of Ralph and Mary Margaret (Brady) Hammond. She was a true Marblehead townie. She was born and raised in town, graduating from Marblehead High School in 1957. She lived for 10 years in the Los Angeles area during the ’60s and ’70s but always called Marblehead her home.
She grew up in the Shipyard and bought her first home in the same neighborhood, where she served on the Shipyard Association board. She loved walking down to the harbor, working in her garden, looking for treasures at yard sales, playing golf, traveling, raising her son and seeing her grandchildren. “Down Bucket” and CBYC stickers were her normal.
Anne retired from the Town of Marblehead in 2004 on the day she turned 65. She spent most of her retired life as a snowbird, splitting the year between Marblehead and Fort Myers Beach, Florida. She enjoyed Red Sox spring training games, warm weather golf and cruising around in her yellow VW Cabriolet
She was a real New Englander: strong-willed, funny, a fan of all the Boston teams and loved a good seafood dinner. She will be missed by many.
Anne was predeceased by her brother, Bill; her sisters, Cathie and Mary Margaret; and her nephew Sean Crowley. She is survived by her son, Michael Khatchadurian; daughter-in-law Holly Khatchadurian, grandchildren William and Ainsley, her sister Josie Crowley, brother-in-law John Crowley, nephew Tim Crowley and his wife, Kim Crowley, and their children, Hannah, Paige and Seamus.
A funeral service will be held on Saturday, Dec. 20 at 10 a.m. at Eustis & Cornell of Marblehead, 142 Elm St. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Anne’s life. A private burial for the family will be held following the service at Waterside Cemetery.
