Jerahian spent 25 years at the Head Start in Paterson teaching pre-K, where she was beloved by both her students and co-workers.
"She was extremely kind, generous, and loving to everyone she met in her life," Lovecchio said. "She poured her heart and soul into her family, friends, and community. We will miss her dearly."
Along with her son, Jerahian is survived by her mother, Joan, her sister, Michelle and her fiancée, Alexander.
