Helen Iola McClellan Manoogian

Iola was my hero. She gave selfishly with no thoughts of a rewards or recognition, only her love for her family and community and always with a smile. The only thing greater to her, was her love of Jesus and her faith in God. She was a true spirit of love and faith. I will miss her but know that I will see her again in God's presence.

My deepest sympathy to the family xxxooo e grossman

Dear Peggy, We are thinking of you and the rest of your family very much as you grieve for your dear Mom. We have many happy memories of Aunty Ikey. Birthday parties at your home in Ashrafieh, long summer days in the garden at Shemlan, climbing the massive tree and playing hide and seek. Chocolate cake, weiner roasts, toasted marshmallows, tennis games, all provided graciously by Aunty Ikey. We were so fortunate to have had these times with your family, and to have her steadfast example in...

Memories of dear Ikey come flooding back, her generosity, her great cooking, her fun generating laughter and joy, and the lovely times we spent in the summers at Dorman´s home in Shemlan, playing tennis finishing with cake and cookies. We miss you and the whole Manoogian family who made us so welcome. Dulcie and Douglas Anderson.

What to say? Mrs. Manoogian (and all the Manoogians) were part of the constant background of our lives. It's as if another brick has fallen from the wall separating the grind of our present lives from the magical memories of an impossibly exotic youth. Thank you for being a part of our lives and may your example, and those of your generation, sustain us as we travel the remainder of our earthly paths. You will be missed. You ARE missed.

My condolences to the family at this sad time. Iola lived a full and fruitful life and has now gone to her reward. She left her mark on the world and will certainly be missed. We shared several things in common; first of all she gave me a wonderful Daughter-in-law and four beautiful grandchildren. And we shared the same birthday although she was six years my senior. May she rest in peace.

My condolences to the family. Peter and Ikey Manoogian were good friends in Lebanon from 1966 to 1986. We visited with them many times and they hosted wonderful Christmas parties for mission workers. Their lovely family were a delight to us all. Now Ikey is reunited with Peter and rejoicing in the glorious presence of her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ whom she loved and served throughout her long life.

Thinking of and praying for you, Peggy Lee, and all your loved ones. What an amazing life she lived and legacy she has left.
