Suad Zia Dawod<br />
Nov 18, 1948 – July 19, <strong>2022</strong><br />
Suad Zia Dawod was born on Thursday,<br />
November 18, 1948, and passed<br />
away on Tuesday, July 19, <strong>2022</strong>.<br />
Bebe’s life in five simple words:<br />
Love. Faith. Education. Family. Sacrifice.<br />
In the beginning, Bebe was love. What<br />
a funny word, love. What does it mean?<br />
There are so many ways to describe it, so<br />
many ways to express it. But everyone<br />
knows love when they feel it. And when<br />
people were with Bebe, they felt love.<br />
From the time she could remember,<br />
Bebe’s guiding light was faith. Her<br />
faith in people. Her faith in justice. Her<br />
faith in learning. And, of course, her<br />
faith in God. Bebe’s faith was singular<br />
and complete. Unwavering and direct.<br />
This could be no other way because<br />
Bebe’s faith was built on love.<br />
Growing up in Baghdad, the youngest<br />
of nine children, Bebe found her<br />
calling in education. First she educated<br />
herself. Later, as a primary school<br />
teacher, she educated others. Bebe<br />
listened, Bebe mentored. She thought<br />
broadly and she thought deeply. Bebe<br />
never tired of teaching and she never<br />
tired of learning. Bebe’s mind was always<br />
open. She embraced her world<br />
completely and accepted it with love.<br />
And Bebe gave all of her love, all of<br />
her faith and all of her knowledge back<br />
to her family. Bebe’s days began and<br />
ended with the dreams, aspirations and<br />
care for her loved ones — especially for<br />
her children and her grandchildren. For<br />
her family, Bebe cooked. For her family,<br />
Bebe baked. For her family Bebe smiled.<br />
And for her family, Bebe sacrificed.<br />
In her final years, Bebe sacrificed her<br />
comfort, hosting frequent sleepovers<br />
for her many grandkids — staying up<br />
as late as they did — though, at times,<br />
she could barely stand. In her final<br />
months, following a series of debilitating<br />
strokes, Bebe sacrificed her peace,<br />
undergoing painful physical therapy,<br />
all to grant her family the gift of hope.<br />
After many years of illness, Bebe’s<br />
body had grown tired but her spirit<br />
never wavered. All through her life,<br />
Bebe gave love. Bebe was love. Bebe is<br />
love. And, in the end, only love endures.<br />
