Sharareh Khodaparast's Obituary
Sharareh (Shara) Kodaparast was born at Midnight on February 14, 1975 in Rezaye, a city in the Northwest of Iran.
Shara came to the U.S. with her family when she was eight years old. The family settled into a conservative, middle-class lifestyle. Shara grew up quickly and was very mature for her age and preferred the company of mature friends. She graduated high school with a passion for nutrition and health. In college she was working toward a bachelor’s degree in nutrition and health and was always encouraging and coaching others for a healthier lifestyle. She also enjoyed baking. Her favorite flower was the Lily.
Shara fought neuro-muscular illness for over 30 years. She encountered Jesus Christ during her battle for her health. In Jesus she found “the peace that surpasses understanding.” Her belief in healing and the support from her family, especially her mother, gave her enduring strength.
Due to complications in her health, Shara passed from this life to her estate in heaven with her Lord Jesus Christ on September 8, 2024.
Shara is survived by her father, Amir Khodaparast, her mother, Azar Jafarzadeh and her sister, Soleh Khodaparast and other family and friends.
