Barbara Khatchadurian

Barbara Ann Khatchadurian, nee Bregg was born on September 9th, 1950 in Toronto, Canada. She passed away December 2, 2025 in Phoenix, AZ.

The daughter of Ralph and Aggie (Caravetta) Bregg, Barbara, known to friends as Barb, was raised in Toronto until the family moved to Southern California in the 1960's. After High School, she started her career in healthcare in the office of a local Convalescent Hospital working her way to Administrator and Owner in the decades that followed. She retired in 2008 and moved to Arizona.

Barbara was very proud of her children and their accomplishments. She would tell anyone that asked, and probably those who didn't ask, the latest about her kids. She adored her grandchildren and loved to spoil them.

After years of learning from her grandmother and mother, Barbara was a great cook. Specializing in Italian cuisine, she would spend a lot of time in the kitchen. Cooking daily meals, whatever her kids asked for and Holiday meals.

Barbara was married to her husband Tommy Sr. (Ishkhan) for nearly 50 years. Together, they traveled nearly all 50 states, and the world. Not surprisingly her favorite destination was her family's native Italy. But she always enjoyed returning home to Arizona and the beautiful desert vistas she loved.

She was preceded in death by her parents Ralph and Aggie; her son Shane; her sister and brother, Debbie and Ralph. She is survived by her husband Ishkhan; children, Sean, Tommy, Michael, and Tina; grandchildren, William and Ainsley; and her nieces Kristin, Sonia, Diana, Linda, and Maggie.

Barbara was 75 years old. Arrangements are under the care of Forest Lawn, Hollywood Hills, CA.
