Afsar Mirafzali Memorial Fund - August 29, 2018

Afsar Mirafzali was born and educated in Shiraz, Iran. There she worked as an assistant to the Dean of the Pahlavi Medical School while at the same time volunteering for different Baha’i institutions. Once she migrated to the United States, she continued her education as a hair stylist while taking care of her 4 children, a skill which she later used only in service to her family. Afsar was a very active member of the Baha’i community until she was diagnosed with lung cancer, a disease she bravely fought for 12 years. She passed away on August 29, 2018 and is survived by her husband, Mr. Shokrollah Mirafzali and her four children, seven grandchildren and three great grandsons.
