Mahin Mostoufi's Obituary
Mahin Mostoufi, our beloved mother and grandmother, passed away on Tuesday, December 3, 2018. Born April 26, 1929, she spent her 89 years as a kind, caring, and generous soul who lovingly took care of those around her. One of 7 siblings, she grew up in a beautiful family who stayed close-knit throughout many years and life changes. She married the love of her life at a young age and became a mother of 6 and, later, a grandmother of 7.
She was unwavering as the matriarch of our family, full of patience and understanding as she guided and comforted us throughout our lives. She loved to read, often finishing a book in a couple of days and moving on to the next in her list. She was extremely talented and skilled at cooking, sewing, and anything that required creative design. She's survived by her children, grandchildren, and many others in a large and loving family and group of friends.
While we miss her unbearably, we are relieved that she is now in peace after a battle with dementia. Her warm hugs, dry sense of humor, and loving patience will forever be how we remember her and how she will live on in our hearts.
In lieu of flowers, we appreciate a contribution through the Mahin Mostoufi Tribute http://act.alz.org/site/TR/Events/Tributes-AlzheimersChampions?pxfid=526143&fr_id=1060&pg=fund towards dementia research so that we can continue to make progress in fighting this terrible disease.
