She served in that holy temple since 1954 and was called Daya (Mother) by the visitors and locals alike.
“Daya Shirin was among the people who spend all their life serving the temple and managing daily matters there," the Yezidi representative in the Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs of the KRG, Khairi Bozani told Rudaw
Shirin was born in Shingal in 1924 and died in Lalish. Lalish is a deeply spiritual place for the Kurdish Yezidi people. The Yezidi faith dates back thousands of years.
The Islamic State group attacked the city of Shingal on 2014 and infamously killed, kidnapped and enslaved thousands of Yezidi. Those who could manage to flee the area have taken refuge in the city of Lalish.
