I am so sorry to hear of Marzia's passing. My mother and I received care from her at Memorial Healthcare. I read her obituary and it described her exactly. She was such a likable person always seeming happy. I am so sorry for your loss. The world lost a truly sweet, good person. Sincerely, Cynthia Hawn 

Marzia was so vibrant with her beautiful smile and loving heart! She was a beacon for this world. I am so deeply saddened to hear of her passing. 

Marzia, you were a remarkable woman! A fun  friend. to hangout with  and a  great person  !  You  touched  many lives with love, hope and kindness! You will be missed! I Love you very much! ❤️
Gwen Nugent. 

I will always remember her ready smile and the joy she found in life.  We so enjoyed playing Bunco with her and having her fix her native 
dishes when it was her turn.  
I remember all the times through the years with her children and her husband, family truly was important to her.  May she rest in peace and may her family take comfort in all the years that they enjoyed together.  God Bless.  Shirley and Don Porter


I am so saddened by the sudden loss of this beautiful soul. I have reflected back to the last time I saw Marzia and feel very blessed to share our special day with her. Marzia was so beautiful at our wedding. Everyone wanted to know where she got such a fantastic dress.  She had so much fun that she stayed at the reception, dancing, and chatting with everyone long after Adrian had retired in his hotel room for the night! What a bright shining star the world has lost and I'm so thankful to have known. 
Thinking of all of her family during this very difficult time.

I'm saddened by the loss of your precious Marzia.  Her bright smile and bright outlook on life was truly inspirational.  When she worked at Olin and had trouble with her computer, she would come to my office for help. She always took it in stride, and you could tell she lived a happy life.  She just had a great joy about her.  She was a great person to be around and I enjoyed her exuberance for life.  Cherish your memories.  May God bless you with comfort and peace.

Such sad news. My condolences to her family. She was such a bright and strong girl in those Spartan Village Days when we were neighbors. Wagma was so kind to David and Chris. We remember all of you fondly and hope you can find comfort in each other and your memories. Love to you all from  Jackie, David and Chris Carew.

I will always remember her incredible laugh and big warm heart. Just the best. I was only in her physical presence while I played MSU rugby but her positive influence and legacy of kindness runs through my life. She was so great and we are all lucky to have known her. All my love to Adrian and family.

My sweet friend, we had plans. And now, I treasure our memories. Without my faith, I’d be lost, because I cannot make sense of this. 

Your smile was eternal, and a guiding light for us all. You found the good in everyone, added so much fun to every gathering, and ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS showed up. 

May your sweet children carry on your zest for life, always love big, and live out their dreams knowing how much you loved them and lived for them. 

My sweet Marzia, thank you for showing me your light. I physicially hurt from this loss, but am beginning to hone in on the warmth I feel knowing you’re with a higher power, are a higher power, and with me always. 

A blessing to have crossed your path, a gift to have heard your laughter, and a lesson on pure love. I have no doubt you are at peace, in God’s hands, and a part of an elite group of saints serving the highest of purposes.

I love you. 

Adrian Woodside, sending all my love and deepest sympathies to you and your sweet children.

Love,
Rochelle (Rizzi) Berry

I am so deeply sadden for the world's loss of Marzia and particularly for her family, husband and beautiful daughters. It was a great honor to know her. I have such fond memories of Marzia as a dialysis nurse, student and then a nurse practitioner. I value all the times I spent talking to her about our lives in medicine and watching our kids at jiu jitsu.  She had a such a fun sense of humor, great attitude, and lovely smile. I wish her family great comfort and hope the memories provide some level of solace. 

Oh Marzia! ! How can it be?!!? You are gone FAR too soon, but I believe that only the good die young and Allah needed you there more! Your work here was done..., your legacy will remain..., and your children.... a beautiful extension and representation of you (and Adrian) will remain to do more work. You left an indelible mark on earth my friend. Adrian, although I don't know you, my heart breaks sincerely for you, your children and Marzia's parents. May she rest in Peace. Marzia was a joy and a pleasure to know.  We felt an immediate connection.  She was so sincere, genuine. When I left AMC, as a NP, she was my replacement....nothing but the Best!! Marzia was Top Notch, classy, professional, sweet, compassionate,  caring, loving--no wonder she was taken so soon... love to you my dear! Until we meet again. Love, hugs, tears of sorrow and of joy for you. Rest in peace. It is so surreal. I truly believe that life after this is FAR BEYOND what we could ever imagine here on earth. Thank you for your time and your gifts. You will not be forgotten.

Our sincere sympathy and condolences to Adrian, to their children and to Wassimi family for their loss. Wagma was a beautiful soul with a magnificent personality. She was a caring and a loving individual. I have known Wagma’s parents and family members over 20 years when they first moved to Tucson.  Though Wagma did not live here but whenever she visited her parents, we had the opportunities to see her. Last time I saw Wagma and Adrian when they were in Tucson the day after Thanksgiving in November 2021.  Wagma had a big heart and a beautiful smile. We are shocked and deeply saddened at her sudden passing.  May she rest in peace. 🙏🏽

My god shower her with all his bless and made a garden from his tomb to her and gives her all the happiness of that life.

Adrian,  I am so sorry for your loss .  Marzia and I worked together in dialysis.   She was fun, kind, and caring.   This picture was taken at a patient Christmas party that we put on for our patients.   It's she and I and recently when we communicated she said she still had this picture on her corkboard at home.  I am shocked at her passing.   It's just so hard to believe.   I will miss her.  We always said cheerio in honor of your mother Adrian. 

Our heart broke hearing the news of Marzia’s passing. She left a legacy of kindness behind. Marzia’s laughter was contagious, and when she walked in a room it was filled with light.  She will always be remembered for her thoughtfulness and ability to listen so genuinely you felt as if you were the only person in the room. She hugged you so hard you couldn’t help but smile and feel joy. We cherished your friendship Marzia, the world has gained a beautiful angel❤️ 
With Love, 
Debbie and Steve Loftus 

My thoughts and prayers for Marzia’s family and friends. I was a patient of hers at Owosso Memorial Healthcare. She was always so very caring and easy to talk to. She took an interest in her patients and she had the best smile. I was saddened to hear of her loss. Heaven will be a little brighter now.

What a gorgeous young lady?  What a horrific tragedy for herself, her kids, her husband, her parents, her brothers and her extended family as well as her friends?  We are so very sorry for her loss.  Life is so unpredictable and so short.   Her untimely departure  broke so many hearts!

We met her once as a child and regret not meeting her as an adult.  We know her dear mother and father, wonderful people.  Our condolences and sympathy with her loved ones.

May Wazhma Jana shines on her loved ones every night among the beautiful stars in our vast and amazing galaxy.  May she Rest In Peace.

My sincere sympathy for your loss, I worked with Marzia at the dialysis unit Sparrow/St. Lawrence campus. She was bright, kind and also a lot of fun. The patients loved her and she was an empathetic and caring nurse. My heart aches for you all. Laura Shaver

She was a great person and very compassionate about her patients and co workers she will be missed by all.  I wish you were still with us as we have lost a great one. 

Marzia was a close friend to our daughter. Marzia was  such a warm caring woman,  when  our mother was on dialysis Marzia showed such care and compassion toward her while taking care of mom.. Years  later, when my husband became ill, Marzia would call him to just say hi, see how he was feeling, and answer any questions he may have.  When she visited AZ she would call to make sure we  could visit. The earth has lost a good one. She will be missed by so many. 

I remember meeting both of you and having dinner at Brody Cafeteria on MSU's campus. We had a lot of fun laughing and getting to know each other better. It was wonderful sharing my experiences in Singapore and about what I missed being in the U.S. 

Marzia was a lovely woman. Her sense of humor and smile are what I remember the most about her. May she rest in peace and may her family always cherish the special times that they shared with her. 

My deepest condolences to the Wassimi family. Sending you love and warmth during these times. - Gillian

Marzia, your kindness and loving spirit will always be in our memories.  My wife, Mariam and our boys remember your visits to Augusta Georgia and Myrtle beach NC.  Both of our families having dinner at Olive Garden.  It was  such a blessing having you all there at the table reminiscing about our extended families.  I met Adrian for the first time as well.  I miss those days and now, we will miss you forever my dear cousin.  May Allah grant you the highest paradise and patience to all of us, God willing.  

I never met  her and only knew about her through Atal (he and I used to work together).  He would speak proudly of his sister. Now as I read these tributes I wish I had known her. What a wonderful, special woman. 

We are so very sorry for your tremendous loss! She  was such a sweet lady.  We really enjoyed her company at game nights at the Wendling’s or trivia nights!  We pray that you will find comfort knowing she is now in a better place with the Lord!  God Bless you all!  The Hilts Family

I will always remember when I would hug you that I hoped you wouldn't bust one of my ribs because your hugs were so tight. I wish I had one more hug from you. I can't believe you're gone. It still doesn't feel real. I don't know why you left, but I hope you are resting in peace. You were always smiling and laughing and I know you still are. I will always miss you and forever love you. My dear sweet, cousin, Marzia. 

There are some who bring a light so great to the world that after they have gone the light remains. You will be missed!!! Love you Marzia!!!❤️

To my dearest lifetime friend; I love you.  I want so badly for you to be here, and I’m so, so sad that it will be so long before I will hear your laugh again.    
I promise to watch over your children, and some day, your grandchildren.  I will make sure they know they can always depend on anything they need from me.  
I will tell them stories about when we were girls.  
I will miss you every day until we see one another again.  I’m going to hold on to that for now, Wagma - that we will see each other again, and we will laugh and hug, and i will see your beautiful smile.

  How sad my heart is that I have lost my dear friend and neighbor of 17 years.  We would often have coffee, go to a movie, take a walk, or sit together by a bonfire. These visits would include hours of deep and meaningful conversation about our families, careers, the state of the world, and always laughter…so much laughter. She would ask me hard questions and encourage me when I was struggling. She was so invested in her friends…and made us feel like family. She was truly the heart of our little neighborhood. 

  She loved life. She celebrated everything with BIG love.  Her spirit was full of compassion and generosity. She was ambitious and driven, and I so often told her that I admired her confidence.  

  I don’t know why she had to leave so soon, but I’m grateful for every moment and memory that I have of this beautiful soul. 
 
  Godspeed Marz.  I pray someday we get your BIG hugs again. 💕 xoxo Kath 

My heart is so broken to hear the news of Marcia’s passing. Marzia was the most loving, compassionate, kind hearted person that walked this earth! She believed in me and pushed me to be a healthier person. She was my personal cheerleader, cheering for me on the side lines when I needed her most. I will never forget the talks of encouragement, the hugs when I felt lost or all  the things she did going above and beyond for me! I will always have a special place for her in my heart…I love you, Marzia! Rest In Peace my beautiful Angel. 🥰🙏🏼♥️

There are no words to express how sorry I am of Marzia's passing. I have so many memories of working with her at Ivyonix, where we met, and then at the dialysis center at St. Lawrence. Our kids grew up together. We spent many good times together. We talked a lot about kids, and about gardening. She was so proud of her morning glories!! Her smile and laughter was infectious. I ran into her not too long ago at Walmart and although we hadn"t seen each other in a while, I was still greeted like a good friend and it was as if no time had gone by. I hope for comfort in this very difficult time for the whole family. You wil be in my thoughts and prayers.

My beloved soul sister Marzia was a brilliant, shining spirit for me, and everyone in her life. My heart hurts deeply that she has moved on far sooner than any of us could have imagined. But, I have faith that she is now at peace in Heaven and Paradise. Always watching over us, with her love and healing; amazing beautiful smile and warm laughter. I will miss ALL of her essence on Earth, especially receiving her deep, strong hugs of pure love and light. To her family, whom I also love as dearly,  I send you strength and love during this utmost difficult time. I will see you all next week.
Love,
Tiffany

Such a special lady inside & out.  You were taken from us too soon my dear. Your smile, your laugh, your humor will be missed but with great memories will be cherished.
XO to ya Marzia

Adrian-I am so sorry for you and your family for your loss.   Although I did not know her personally, your wife seemed like a great person that lived life to the fullest and loved you all unconditionally.  I hope the many great memories you were able to share bring comfort to you and yours during this difficult time.   You will all be in my thoughts and prayers.
