Hikmat (Liz) Agresti age 79 of Monroe Township died Wednesday, December 2, 2009.

She was born in Aman, Jordan and married late Ahmad Kamal Kabshura(1984) in 1948. The family came to this country in 1958, settled in Paterson and lived in Hawthorne before moving to Wayne thirty years ago.

Liz was a great cook whose traditional Middle Eastern fare including stuffed grape leaves and Mehluba were family favorites. Her special touch in the kitchen was not limited to traditional cooking; her terrific baked ziti and meatballs, who’s taste was fine tuned with Ritz Crackers, will be sorely missed by all who had the pleasure.

Her inclusion of Ritz Crackers in her meatballs can be traced to her twenty-five years of service at the Nabisco manufacturing plant’s Ritz Cracker Line in Fair Lawn where she worked before retiring in 1986.

She later met the late Domenico Agresti(2005) while working at the Universal Corporation in Hawthorne.  They courted for several years and were married on November 23, 1987.

Liz was the devoted wife of nineteen years to the late Domenico Agresti(2005); loving mother of Lu Kabshura of East Brunswick, Kamal Kabshura and his wife Chris of Oak Ridge,  Mimi Kabshura of Lincoln Park, Joanna Cook and her husband Ron of Monroe Township, Margherita Leming and her husband Eddie of Oak Ridge, Clelia Hopper and her husband Bill of Wayne and Angelo Agresti and his wife Erin of Green Township; cherished Teta(grandmother) of Vincent, Mallory, Jason, Dana, Jonathan, Jordan, Justine, Lindsay, Jessica and Alex; much loved sister of Ihsan Tahabsin Carpenters Ville, California, Mahmoud Trakh and his wife Fatwa of Chicago, Ill, Ahmad Trakh of Florida and the late Nehmit Hakooz and the late Jeff Trakh.
