Born 1867 - Unknown

Mariana Assaf Khalil (Zād Naṣr Allāh) is thought to have been born in the Syrian village of Kfar Mechi (today Kafr Mishki, or in French, Kfarmechki) in 1867 and emigrated to Ottawa, Ontario, Canada in 1907 or 1908. Although she was listed as a pedlar, she was in fact a greengrocer, and by all accounts a sharp businesswoman who sold produce to the carriage trade in the Canadian capital.

Aboard Titanic/April 14th-15th, 1912:
By 1912, she had made enough money to visit 2 sons she had left behind when she first came to Canada. After a family visit, she was returning aboard Titanic with her cousin Assāf Jiris Tu'mah al-Sayqali, and her nephew, Sulaymān Khalil 'Atta Allāh. She boarded the RMS Titanic as a third class passenger.

She was traveling with a large group from Kfar Mishki: the sisters Saiide and Catherine Barbara; Joseph Caram and his wife Maria Elias: journalists Mansouer Nofal and Sleiman Attla; The Elias Family (Joseph Elias and his sons Joseph and Tannous); Hannā Būlus; and Mansūr Hanná. Mariana was the only one of the gang to survive.

After The Sinking/Later Life/Death:
She survived the sinking, possibly in Collapsable C. After her rescue she travelled on to her nephew: David Shaheen, Broad Street, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Her first person account of the disaster appeared in the Ottawa Citizen. She then got remarried.
