Burial - 7 Sep 2000Najmieh Ala'i
On 4 September 2000, in Auckland, New Zealand. Najmieh Lameh was
born on 12 March 1908 in Tabriz, Tran. She was a fourth generation
Baha' i and served the Baha'i Faith in many capacities during her life
in Iran. She was a member of many administrative committees, including
the Advancement of Women Committee, Young Women's Education
Committee, and the Armenian Teaching Committee. She graduated as a
trained nurse and around 1955 became the head of nurse training for
the Baha'i-run Mithaqiyyih Hospital. She married Rahmatu'llah Ala'i
in 1928 and the two had three children before Mrs. Ala'i was widowed
in 1940. In the early 1980s, when the persecution of Baha' is in Iran
was at its height, she moved to New Zealand, settling in the city of
Kaikohe, where the National Spiritual Assembly had identified a need
for teachers of the Baha'i Faith. She moved to Auckland a few years
later and lived there until the time of her death. In its message after
her passing, the Universal House of Justice recalled her "staunchness of
Faith" and "dedication ... to the Baha'i community."
