Maryan Walsh Kinoyan

April 26, 2018

Maryan Walsh Kinoyan of Hartford, CT died Thursday April 26, 2018. She was widow to Steve Kinoyan Sr. and is survived by her son, Steve Kinoyan Jr. Maryan also has a sister Margaret and brother Joseph, in Ireland. Born in County Mayo, Ireland, she came to the United States in 1963 and worked as a Paralegal most of her working years. Dedicated to her profession, she loved helping people as they worked through whatever legal issues they had. She always had the clients in mind and assisted them. Maryan also had many friends at The Retreat Living Center in Hartford, CT, where she lived. There she had found peace and comfort through this facility's amazing staff and accommodations. An avid animal lover - she of course had a pet cat whom she adored. The cat too found comfort at The Retreat and had just as many friends as Maryan. Her name was "Precious" and I know she will miss Maryan. Precious was adopted by one the staff of The Retreat which just goes to show why Maryan liked them so much. Outside of The Retreat Maryan enjoyed taking long walks and just loved to be outdoors. She was known to walk for miles to see her friends. Also an avid musician, Maryan enjoyed playing traditional Irish music on her accordion. She even played in a band and would perform at Irish social halls and events in CT and MA during the 1970's-80's. Maryan will be missed by so many. If you knew her, you just know why she'll be missed. The world was a better place because of her and she's been called to carry on that same work elsewhere. She has been called home.
