Arshalous Shahababroodi was born to Shamir and Yulia on June 20, 1925 in Babarud, Rezeiah Iran.

She spent her childhood years alongside her four brothers and two sisters; Amijan, Johnny, William, Vano, Emily and Cecilia.

Arshalous was married at the age of 18 to Asatur Babalians.

Together they had four children and one step-son; Rima, Georgik, Baris, Anahid and Robert.

Arshalous dedicated her life to her family and even after her husbands untimely death at 40 years old, Arshalous continued to display that same strength and sacrifice to support her family. Arshalous is survived not only by her children but her 5 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren.

She lived a life devoted to God and her family, asking nothing for herself but rather praying for her family's well-being. Her family will miss her sweet but strong spirit and they will especially miss how she was able to comfort her loved ones by just being in the same room with them. Arshalous lived a full life and her family thank God that they had the time they had with her. They will remember her forever and take from her the strength, love and wisdom she taught them.
