She met her husband Arture Trindade a few years after moving to the United States and together they shared a beautiful life and home filled with love. Looba was an avid member of St. Thomas Assyrian church. She enjoyed reading, playing cards and listening to music. Looba also had a great sense of humor, a contagious laugh and a generous heart. Even after she had stopped driving, she would have family members make donations on her behalf to various charities, particularly local food pantries and food banks.
