Zaefa Mohamed (fondly known as sister, aunty sister, big mommy, Mrs. M) passed away peacefully, at her home, on Friday, December 9, 2022 at the golden age of 94 years.
Mom, our hearts were shattered into a million pieces when the Angels of Allah came and took you from us the gem of our lives.
Our loving, most golden hearted mother was one on a million. The mould was discarded after she was created. Exceptionally angelic. Everyone who knew our mother always commented “What a sweetheart you are”.
Mom was a woman of great faith, a true believer of her religion, always reciting her Quran. Giving paise and thanks to Allah. Hand in Hand with our wonderful father Imam Yusuf Mohamed they completed and lived their lives for the purpose of Allah. There isn’t one moment of our mother’s life that she didn’t recite her QURANIC readings.
She was the most loving, caring, nurturing mother to her seven children. She was a kindest mother-in-law, adoring Agee / grandma and great grandma; great sister, sister-in-law, aunt, cousin, niece and overall Human Being one has ever known.
Mom was so Blessed. You could hurt her this moment and the next she’ll tell you she loves you and Allah bless you.
She always advised to pray and forgive. She never showed a bad attitude to anyone.
Her two Angels Naila and Maleeka were very attentive. Always helping to feed her and Naila assisted with her care applying her Nursing Skills. No foot specialist did a better job than Naila. To the last Naila administered the most healthy pedicure anyone has ever done.
She was Gabriella’s only MAMMA!
Mom was very hardworking always burning the midnight oil to make sure we got what we wanted. She was the best Seamstress, made and decorated the best cakes ever. cake Baker and Cake decorator. Everyone loved her Black and Cherry cakes.
