Ann Sipple Nersesian Scholarship

Ann Sipple Nersesian worked for 40 years as a registered nurse at New York Hospital, Valley Nursing Home in Westwood, the Jewish Home in River Vale, Bergen Regional Medical Center, and on numerous private duty cases. She took nursing courses at Ramapo College and loved her experience at Ramapo.

“At once strong willed and charming, she was a lover of art, travel, classic American songs, animals, all things floral, and above all time spent with her children and her devoted husband Gilbert,” says her daughter Jennifer Nersesian.

At Mrs. Nersesian’s death in September, her family requested that any gifts received in her memory be used for a scholarship for undergraduate nursing students at Ramapo. Continues Jen, “Her humor, grace, unconditional compassion and selfless devotion to those in need will not be forgotten.”
