Ernestine Haddad Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Ernestine retired from the Allentown School District, where she worked as a cafeteria employee, and was previously employed at Aetna and Western Electric in Allentown. She was known for her kindness, hard work, and the warm smile that brightened the days of everyone around her.
She enjoyed working on jigsaw puzzles, watching movies, and playing cards. Above all, she cherished spending time with her family. Her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren brought her great joy and were the center of her life.
Ernestine had a deep and unwavering faith that she lovingly passed on to her family. Her firm and steady relationship with God guided her throughout her life, and she always knew that one day she would be at home with our Lord.
She will be missed by her loving family: sons, Keith Slusaw of Annandale, VA, Richard Haddad of Allentown, and James Haddad of Allentown; her daughter, Jennifer Haddad of Allentown; her sister, Virginia Haddad of Allentown; five grandchildren; ten great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her sisters Venice Crouthamel and Ruth Raad, and brother Ernest E. Atiyeh, Jr.
Services will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Ernestine's memory to Our Daily Bread Ministries, or to a charity of your choice.

John and I are so sorry to hear about Mom. All the memories come flooding back to the trips we made over the years to Allentown to see your Situ and Jidu with the entire family congregating at their house. Your Mom was full of life. She loved our sons, Steven & David and they enjoyed her. The memories that John has shared with me when his Mom (Aunt Kitty) and his Dad (Uncle Cas) would take them back to Allentown to be with family is something you can never forget. May you find peace knowing that your Mom is with her family once more. God Bless
