Vivian Shirazi

In loving memory of My Mommy Vivian Lynn Shirazi

My Mama, Vivian Lynn Shirazi, was born February 28th, 1948 in East Chicago, Indiana.

She went to be with God and Jesus on March 30th, 2024 in Fairfax, Virginia.

Mama had the most strong and unique personality that anyone could ever meet. People who knew my mom would say the same.

She was a loving, devoted mother to her daughter and grandmother to her grand-dogs and grand-cats.

My Mama had a funny and crazy sense of humor, always joking around. She was very sensitive, strongly opinionated, and set in her ways. She was a tough woman and always had my back. I felt safe and protected with my mom by my side.

Mama is survived by me, Dawn Shirazi Bird,(Florida), granddogs Durango Jackson, Mayzee Grace, Lexi Frostina, ex husband Ali Shirazi (my dad) (Maryland) and Linda Colon, sister (Nevada).

Preceded before her in heaven, her granddogs; Dominique Izora, Daizy Dawg, Sandy, Fafa and Snowball. Grandcats; Sia, Smokey, Puffy, Cinthia, Maximillian, Patty, Precious, Khaula, Paris, Malibu, Brandon, Baby Brandi, Roman, Dolan. Parents: Mother Anna Ochoa (California) Magdaleno Lopez (Nevada) Sibkings: Magdaleno Lopez, Jr (Idaho), Steve Lopez (New Mexico) and James Lopez, (Nevada).

My mama had a very giving heart, especially to animals. She would carry cat food with her to feed stray cats, she often would feed wild animals. You would find her helping others in need.

Mama loved standing up for animals and their rights. She often signed petitions to help animals. Also, she had a love for children and especially babies and toddlers. She liked posting things about animal rights and pro Trump on Facebook.

Her nick names for me were “CC Love” or “Beauty Queen”. Mama often told me she loves me more than anyone or anything. She called kisses, (tisses) and always said, “give me tisses and hugs” Mama always took me to concerts as a child even though she was bored at them.

Mama was the greatest grandmother to her grandpets. The first thing she always asked was, “how are my “grandbabies”?She loved getting “wet Willes” which are kisses from her little man Durango. Mama always said that my dog Dominique acted like me as a kid. She thought it was funny that her granddaughter acted like her daughter. Strong willed and independent to make a few things.

Mama loved red or lavender roses and anything chocolate, from Godiva to cake. She always ate dessert before her meal. She loved beans and tomatoes, tortillas, (Persian Stew) Ghormeh Sabzi, mushroom pizza lasagna.

Mama loved wrought iron decor that looked Spanish. She loved the colors purple, black, red and gold. She loved Chanel nail polish and make up.

Mama loved movies such as John Vick, Sopranos, Sleepless In Seattle, You’ve Got Mail and the TV shows Queen of South and Kobra Kai. She also enjoyed the music of Gladys Knight, The Carpenters and Engelbert Humperdinck.

Mama always asked if I prayed and would remind me to pray everyday. The last six months of her life she had concerns that we were living in End Times. She would often remind me to live a Godly life and Jesus is coming and that she got “right” with The Lord.

Mama past away the day before Jesus redirection on March 30th.

She was the greatest mother and I pray she is happy and with Jesus and all her loved ones in heaven. God and Jesus please take care of my mama in heaven.
