Dear family and friends, we regret to inform you of the passing of the beloved Faiza Esshaki.

Faiza passed away peacefully on February 6, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of love, faith, and family that will live on for generations.

The beloved daughter of the late Yousif and the late Naima Peter, and wife of the late Gabriel Esshaki.

Faiza was a devoted mother to her children: the late Vivian (John) Shouneyia, Jeanan (Maher) Kato, the late Thomas Esshaki, John (Hanadi) Esshaki, James Esshaki, Lynn Esshaki, and Paulette (John) Kuza. She was the proud grandmother of 16 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren, each of whom held a special place in her heart.

Faiza had a true gift for making any space feel warm and welcoming. She loved flowers and gardening, and she delighted in decorating her home for every holiday and season. Her home was a place where family gathered, memories were made, and love was felt.

Above all, Faiza loved Jesus. Her faith was the foundation of her life. Prayer was her power and her strength, guiding her through both joyful moments and life's hardest trials. She lived her faith loud and proud, and her trust in God was an example to all who knew her.

Faiza will be remembered for her grace, her devotion to family, her unwavering faith, and the love she gave so freely. Though she will be deeply missed, her spirit lives on in the lives she touched and the family she cherished so dearly.

Thank you and God Bless You!

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For the Kingdom, the power, and the glory are Yours,
now and forever.

Amen
