Lois Elaine Dehghanpisheh, 74, passed away on May 11, 2021. She spent nearly 15 years of her life in Iran after marrying her husband Hassan. During that time she embraced her new family and a new culture and learned to speak fluent Farsi. She earned a bachelor's and master's degree in English from Pahlavi University in Shiraz.



Elaine began teaching English as a second language to students at ASU in 1983 and was a dedicated instructor for the next thirty years.



Elaine will be deeply missed by the surviving members of her family who take solace in knowing that she will always be in their hearts. Elaine was placed to rest at Green Acres Cemetery in Scottsdale. (Source: Arizona Republic)
