Memorial
Aziza was born in DR Congo, on December 1, 1977, in Maniema province, however, because of the political situation and the war conflicts in the Eastern of the D.R. Congo, Aziza moved to Rwanda in a refugee camp where she spent 17 years and lost her husband with whom she had her children. A few years ago, she was relocated to Houston, TX as a refugee with her kids. She moved to Cedar Rapids, Iowa in August 2017, looking for a better job to feed her kids.
Aziza was a courageous and generous woman who left 6 children including 5 girls and a boy, aged 2, 10, 14, 17,19, and 21 years old who still back in the D. R. Congo. Aziza’s life was guided by her strong faith and her commitment to her children and family. She presented a loving home environment where she was always present, offering physical and emotional care, support and guidance based on her wisdom and life experience. Aziza enjoyed cooking, singing and shopping.
Message from her Children
Mom, we know you are listening from the heavens above. There’s nothing that we value more than your love. No matter where we are or what we are doing, losing you is a pain that cannot be described in words. It is impossible to move on from the memory of losing the woman who sacrificed happiness in her own life so that we could have a better one. Memories will always keep us smiling. We will miss you. Things will never be the same without you Mom and you leaving us has left a deep void in our hearts. We all miss you and wish you did not have to leave us so soon.
