Mahindokht Akhbari

Mahindokht Akhbari passed away peacefully on Wednesday, January 15, 2025. She was 93 years old. Mahin, as she was known to friends and family, was born in Iran and worked as a lifelong educator in Tehran. She immigrated to the United States in her 80’s, where she lived in New Hampshire through a winter season with her niece, Helen, before moving to sunny Los Angeles to live with her sister Nosrat. Eventually, she moved into assisted living at AvantGarde Senior Living in Tarzana before moving to Brilliant Senior Care Facility in North Hills where she passed away of natural causes. The family would like to express their gratitude and thanks to her terrific caregivers at both facilities and also to Dr. Jill Brink from Aging Interventions.

Mahin was a very loving person and will be remembered equally for her kindness, jovial nature, and adventurous spirit. She is survived by a sister, Nosrat, and many beloved nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her sister, Forough Akhbari, and two brothers Nasser (Paul) and Mansor.

A visitation is scheduled from 2:00-4:00 PM on January 21st at Valley Funeral Home, 2121 West Burbank Blvd, Burbank CA. Final burial will be at David’s Cemetery, Dayton OH.

In lieu of flowers, her family requests a donation be made to the Alzheimer’s Association in Mahin’s name.
