The family has described Fazia Begum (75) as a social and generous person – always concerned with the well -being of others.

– When others were doing well, she was doing well, says son Saqib Begum.

NRK meets him during the funeral ceremony in Greenland in Oslo on Friday afternoon.

Here, family and friends are gathered to say a final goodbye to Fazia.

It was last Saturday that the 75-year-old boarded a green bus in Enebakk. Begum had been in the mosque and was going home to the grandchildren.

Then the bus caught the guy.

Begum was one of three that was critically injured.

The 75-year-old was flown to Haukeland University Hospital, but life was not saved. Night to Monday she died from the injuries.

Buried in Pakistan

On Friday, her coffin is covered with dark blue velvet and a large flower bouquet. On a ribbon, children and grandchildren have left one last greeting to Fazia:

“Highly loved and deeply missed”.

As the coffin is carried out, people hold around each other.

Now the immediate family will bring Pakistan’s coffin. Fazia’s last wish was to be buried there – where she was born.

– she was very popular

The 75-year-old was strongly involved in the community around him.

– She was a person who was selfless and communicated with everyone. She is described as one with a huge network, not just in Norway, says Saqib about her mother.

Khalid Mahmoud is the deputy leader of the mosque. He describes Fazia as helpful and well -liked:

– She was very much to help others, both here in the mosque and outside. She was very popular, he tells NRK.

Fazia was also active in the Red Cross and the Salvation Army.

– It was a great lady that we were very happy with. She has meant a lot to both staff and volunteers, Hege Aspelund in the Red Cross said to NRK.
