Born in Shiraz, Iran, on March 14, 1938, Nayereh devoted her early life to education and leadership, serving as the principal of a high school in Shiraz before emigrating with her family to the United States in 1979. She married Ali Akbar Mohseni in 1963, and together they raised two sons, Bobby and Shahab, in a household full of warmth, values, and laughter.
Nayereh was known for her strength, elegance, and deep compassion. In Iran, she shaped the lives of generations of students through her work as a high school principal, leaving a lasting legacy in her community through education and guidance. After immigrating to the United States, she carried those same qualities into every part of her life—nurturing her family, building a warm and welcoming home, and supporting others with quiet resilience. Her commitment to family and community never wavered, whether in Shiraz or in Houston. Her grace was not only evident in how she lived and cared for others, but also in her refined sense of style and the quiet beauty she carried with her—an outward reflection of the strength, dignity, and pride that defined her presence.
She is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 62 years, Ali Akbar Mohseni, who passed away in December 2023. She is survived by her sons Bobby (Patrick Condon) and Shahab Mohseni (Renee Mix); her grandchildren Jacob Ali and Peyton Dylan Mohseni; her extended family in Iran and the United States, including cherished nieces, nephews, and in-laws; and dear friends who stood by her with unwavering loyalty. The family extends heartfelt thanks to Monir, Amir, and Bahar Ansari; Behnaz, Behzad, Farzad, and Firoozeh Nikfarjam; Reza and Maryam Jou; Mahboobeh Mohebbi; and Talat Barton for their support and companionship in recent years.
