> Mahboubeh Arjmand was born in the City of Hamedan in
> Iran. She was the second child of Mr. Habiboullah Arjmand and
> Mrs. Monireh Khanum Mobin Arjmand. Unfortunately, she lost
> her mother at the age of ten and soon became the surrogate
> mother of all her siblings. One can imagine how difficult this
> must have been at a time when young children became seriously
> ill frequently. She did not have any children of her own, but she
> took care of all the children in the family as if they were her
> own children. All the children in the family have very fond
> memories of her, especially of the gifts and souvenirs she would
> bring them every time she travelled.
> Mahboubeh was a very talented person. She was a dress
> designer and her specialty was bridal gowns, for which she had
> earned a good reputation in Tehran. She studied hair styling and
> skin care in Italy and had a good working knowledge of Italian

> and French languages. She was extremely hospitable and
> generous. Her home was always open to everyone. Family and
> friends would often gather there, where there was always an
> open invitation to enjoy her delicious Persian cuisine and her
> pastry. She had a good sense of humor and often entertained the
> family with her witty remarks.
> Mahboubeh was a very devoted Bahá’í and, in her youth, was
> actively engaged in Bahá’í activities in Tehran. She was proud of
> her grand-father Haji Mehdi Arjmand who was a prominent
> teacher of the Bahá’í Faith. She had memorized many of the
> Tablets revealed in honor of her grandfather and would recite
> them often. Mahboubeh Arjmand, after a period of failing
> health, passed away peacefully in her own home in San Diego,
> California, on September 14 2013.
