<div itemprop="description">In Loving Memory of Samira Gedeon (née Shammas) <br> <br>With heavy hearts, we thank God for welcoming His beloved daughter, Samira Gedeon, into His eternal embrace. Samira passed peacefully on the night of May 13th at her home in Montreal, surrounded by the love of her four children. <br> <br>She was the matriarch of three generations of family, a mother, grandmother, sister, and friend whose love held all of us together. She loved her children and grandchildren endlessly, fiercely, and without condition. To her children, she was strength, wisdom, and resilience. To her grandchildren, she was warmth, joy and love. Her home, her stories, and her presence were a constant source of love in our lives, and the space she leaves behind is immeasurable. <br> <br>Our mother was thoughtful, creative, wise, and deeply compassionate, and led with grace, faith, and dignity. She also cared deeply for her friends and community, always showing up for others with generosity, kindness and sincerity. <br> <br>We take comfort knowing she is now reunited with her beloved husband, parents, brother, and sisters. Though our hearts are broken, we know her love remains with us, in the values she instilled in us, in the traditions she passed down, and in the family she loved so deeply. <br> <br>Her legacy is not only the family she leaves behind, but the love that shapes us all. <br> <br>Samira is survived by her children: Ibrahim Gedeon and his son Joseph; Zeina Gedeon; Sahar Gedeon and her husband Jeff Cury, with grandchildren Nicholas and Antony; and Reem Gedeon and her husband Nadim Abdo, with grandchildren Dhana and Tala; as well as her beloved sister, Moazaz. <br> <br>We invite all who knew and loved her to join us in celebrating Samira’s beautiful life. <br> <br>Visitation <br>Friday, May 22 <br>3:00 PM – 5:00 PM <br>7:00 PM – 9:00 PM <br>Rideau Funeral Home and Cemetery <br>4239 Source Blvd, Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Quebec <br> <br>Funeral Mass <br>Saturday, May 23 at 12:00 PM <br>Paroisse Notre-Dame de l’Annonciation <br>9501 Blvd Gouin West, Pierrefonds, Quebec <br> <br>Burial Ceremony <br>1:30 PM <br>Rideau Funeral Home and Cemetery <br> <br>May her soul rest in peace and rise in glory.</div>
