Suzanne Rezvan Tara Azimi passed away at her New Orleans home on December 20, 2019. She was born in Queens, New York on October 27, 1962. After receiving her finance degree from Rutgers University, Suzanne moved to New Orleans, Louisiana where she met Poury Azimi at his restaurant, The Flaming Torch, while working there. They would later marry and raise their three children Aryan, Safieh, and Jila in their longtime Metairie home. Suzanne’s greatest joy in life was watching her children grow and spending time with her family, including many trips to Pensacola, Florida where her mother Bette and grandmother Henrietta lived. Some of her favorite hobbies included going to the beach with her children, listening to Bruce Springsteen’s entire discography going all the way back to her high school days in New Jersey, and interior decorating. Suzanne never missed an opportunity to make a lasting and positive impact on the lives of her children, including attending every soccer game and dance recital, packing school lunches with encouraging letters and quotes for the day, and surprising her children with tickets to sporting events and concerts. She will always be remembered for her selflessness and compassion towards others. Many of her friends and family fondly remember her as the kind of person who would have done anything for a complete stranger, and as someone with a heart of gold. Suzanne is predeceased by her father, Dr. Hamid Harold Tara, and her mother Bette Bundy Tara; her great grandmother Henrietta Bundy; her husband Poury Azimi; and her brother Robert Tara. Suzanne is survived by her three children Aryan, Safieh, and Jila Azimi. She is also survived by her brother Dr. Harold Hamid Tara, his wife Annette Tara, and their children Victoria and Jessica; her sister-in-law Andrea, and her two children Kaitlyn and Grace Ann Tara; her sister-in-law Nahid Azimi and her daughters Atoussa Ardalan and Panteha Adlgostar. There will be a private gathering of family in her memory.
