She was an excellent cook who shared her talents often, hosting regular meals for her children and grandchildren, and also helping for many years with the Annual Lebanese Dinner at St. George Orthodox Christian Cathedral, where she was a devoted parishioner.

Jim Farha, M.D.; grandchildren, Patrick (Erin), Stefan, Christina (Blake), Christian (Stefanie), Andrew, Dona (Rabih), Dana (Zeid), Adib, Jad, Mark, Roman; great-grandchildren, Owen, Giana, Nora, Colette, Sam, Sari, Zoe.
