Margo Nazi

The story of Margo Nazi is a profound testament to the struggles and triumphs that define the pursuit of the American Dream, woven intricately through generations. Born on July 6, 1939, in Haifa, Palestine, Margo’s life was shaped by perseverance, optimism, and a steadfast commitment to family—values she instilled deeply within her descendants. 

As an infant, Margo’s family fled the unrest in Haifa, seeking refuge in Jerusalem. After more hostilities in Jerusalem, their journey continued amidst conflict, leading them to Damascus, Syria, in 1948 as refugees. Despite the adversities of being displaced, Margo’s spirit flourished. She met her beloved husband, Jack Nazi, in Damascus, and together they built a foundation rooted in love, perseverance, and the importance of family unity.

In 1973, driven by aspirations for a brighter future, Margo and her family immigrated to the United States. Arriving with little more than dreams and determination, they faced cultural barriers, economic hardships, and the challenge of creating a new home. Yet, through unwavering faith and relentless hard work, Margo, with Jack by her side, cultivated a life filled with purpose and joy.

She was pre-deceased by Jack Nazi (husband), her parents, Jeryes Zingani and Azizeh Safar. She was the oldest of all her brothers and sisters. She was pre-deceased by Bishara, Nakhleh, Samir, Saliba, Amal, Gita and Naheel.

My mom met my dad in Damascus, Syria where they got married. 

Margo’s enduring legacy is reflected in her growing family tree. She nurtured values of resilience, love, and courage that continues to thrive through her children—Youssef, Adel, and Vera—who embody the strength and determination she modeled. Her grandchildren—Jack Nazy, Emanuel Nazy, Jessica Nazy, Chris Nazy, Andrew Nazy, John Daoud, Elizabeth Daoud, Sarah Daoud, and Deborah Daoud—carry forward her teachings of compassion, perseverance, and the importance of family bonds. 

Margo’s great-grandchildren Gianna, Jonah, and Petra—are the newest bearers of her legacy, their lives enriched by the principles she cherished.

She is also survived by many Zingani and Abdulahad cousins, and many nephews and nieces all over the world.

Margo’s journey is more than a tale of survival; it is a narrative of generational triumph. Her life stands as an enduring symbol of the American Dream, where values of courage, love, and perseverance are passed lovingly from one generation to the next, ensuring her spirit lives on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
