Tasneem Zafar Dehlavi, at the age of 83, passed away peacefully with her family by her side on Wednesday, Jan. 1, 2025. Born on 26th December 1941 in Lahore, Pakistan, Tasneem was the cherished matriarch of the Dehlavi family, wife of 27 years to the late Zafar Dehlavi, mother of Sobia Dehlavi, Shabana Dehlavi, Amir Dehlavi, Obaid Dehlavi and Najeebullah Dehlavi, and grandmother 'Nana' to Elaynah Pirzada, Ellaha Pirzada, Syed Raphe Pirzada, and Mahnoor Manha. Throughout her life, Tasneem touched the lives of all who knew her with her immense kindness, wisdom and love. She will forever be remembered for her green thumb, her devotion to Islam, her fondness for Indian dramas, and her soft spot for ice cream. She loved dogs, roses of all colors, sewing, collecting porcelain figurines, spoiling her grandchildren and giving wazifas to strangers and loved ones alike. After a long battle with Alzheimers, she was laid to rest on Friday, Jan. 3 2025 at Homewood Cemetery. Her legacy as our Ammi and Nana will live on in our hearts forever.
