Obituary of Nama Innabi

Nama Innabi was born in Jordon, on February 16,1933. Affectionately known to all as “Emma (aunt)Nama”, Nama never married and had no children of her own. Yet, even so, Nama was “Mother” to so many. A unique soul, who touched the core of all she met, she changed the lives of everyone she knew. From early on, Emma Nama was not satisfied with just caring for her own parents and siblings. With seemingly impossible grace, she was actively involved in the care and upbringing for generations of loved ones. Beginning by raising and nurturing the children of her siblings, she then continued her loving guidance as her nieces and nephews brought up families of their own. If mere words that can describe Emma Nama, they would be LOVE or Selfless, traits she truly embodied. Compassion, patience, humility, grace and wisdom… simple terms can only scratch the surface of what Emma Nama personified, and what she meant to us all. To us, the generations of her nieces and nephews blessed and grateful to have her in our lives, Emma Nama is a presence so constant, so powerful, it guides us in every step we take. Emma Nama, you were and will always be a second mother to us all, gods loving hand, our guardian angel, our illustration of right and wrong, our hope in the face of despair. Our Love. Our Life. Our Angel. Our Emma Nama. Nama Innabi departed this life on December 19, 2015 in Yonkers, NY. Nama was a Yonkers resident for 45 years and a church parishioner at The Good Shepherd Church of St Mary's. She is survived by her two sister-in-laws, nieces, nephews and God children.
