Throughout the years, she enjoyed meeting many people and learned English by speaking with them. She loved to work, garden, babysit and care for many family members.

She had a great love for her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Azizeh always enjoyed feeding people when they came to visit her. No one would leave without eating something. She loved giving candy to the neighbor’s children and to her great grandchildren. She always opened her heart to others and cared for family members when needed.
