Victoria was a kind and loving wife and mother. She was devoted to her family and our Lord. She worked very hard making a beautiful home and raised 7 children. She was a RN Nurse for over 20 year working for the United Nations providing healthcare for many people. She raised her children in Jordan which was sometimes a challenge, but managed it with due diligence and integrity. She made sure they all had a good education so they would be successful in their lives. She especially wanted it for her (4) daughters being raised in the Middle East...she felt that would give them an edge in life. She loved to entertain family, relatives and friends. She was always kind and generous to everyone. She enjoyed traveling. She had a bold spirit, and 15 years ago she moved to the United States to live with her daughters Naramon (Nassar)Nuko and Karamon Al-Akel to Arizona. She would visit her son Adel(Elizabeth) and 3 grandsons in Indiana. She traveled to see her Children in Jordan; Daughter Manel (Hani)Qagish and 2 grandsons; Sons Awad Al-Akel and 3 grandchildren and Odeh(Nili)Al-Akel & 3 grandchildren. She also traveled to Israel to see her youngest daughter, Maysoon (Nizar) Sayeghs and 3 grandchildren. She loved the outdoors and planting flowers; especially Roses....she loved their simple beauty and the aroma. She will be dearly missed and she will remain in our hearts forever.
God Bless you mom.
