Parvin Khalili Rahbarrad

Parvin Khalili Rahbarrad passed peacefully surrounded by family on December 10, 2024, in Olathe, Kansas.
She was born in Kermanshah, Iran as the second daughter of Simin and Salar Khalili.
In a culture where there were few women in the workforce, Parvin skillfully juggled the demands of teacher, wife, and mother. She ingrained the importance of education onto her children and grandchildren as the path to success.
In the early 1980s, Parvin and her husband, Sion, immigrated to the United States to join their children whom they had sent here a few years earlier.
Her courage and strength allowed her to leave her established life behind in Iran and start over in a foreign country from scratch. This required her to learn a new language, adopt a new culture, and start a new career.
Parvin expressed her love by preparing elaborate meals for her weekly family dinners. Most of all, it was the love of family togetherness that brought her joy.
She is preceded in death by her parents; her husband Sion; her sister Valantin; and her brother Ezat.
Her memory lives on through her two children, Mahta and Mahyar with their respective spouses Mark and Christiane, four grandchildren and spouses Setareh & Michael, Sanam & Eric, Arman, and Amita, and four wonderful great-granddaughters Isabelle, Layla, Sasha, and Alora. She will be missed dearly.
Services will be held on Thursday, December 12 at 11 am at the Louis Memorial Chapel. Details of the virtual Zoom session can be found on their website and in the Kansas City Jewish Chronicle.
