Shereen is the daughter of Dr. Abdel Hameed Hamdy and Lucille Kirby. She spent several years with her family in Cairo, Egypt when her father was assigned to the UN office in Cairo.

Shereen was married to her loving husband of 46 years, Adel Faddah. Together they raised two wonderful daughters, Mona and Dina, who were her pride and joy. Shereen and her husband's career took them to live in Saudi Arabia and Egypt and, finally, in 1978 to Raleigh, NC.

She has an aircraft with her name somewhere in the sky, be sure to look out for it.

Shereen loved to travel all over the world and was a patron of the arts. She especially loved Broadway musicals and shopping for shoes. Her love for art and culture was unstoppable. She also appreciated a good movie with popcorn.

Shereen was a devoted wife, mother, sister, aunt, nana and friend.
