It is with heavy hearts that we announce
the loss of our Beloved Dr. Hilal Dawood Elia.

Son of the late Dawood and Ghazala Elia.
Doc (as everyone called him) was the

Loving husband to his heart, his wife
Elham Elia; Loving and Nurturing father of Zaid (Zaina) Elia, Reena (Kees) Janeway and Ted John (Renee) Elia.

Beloved grandfather to 9 beautiful grandchildren.

Doc was one of the first Chaldean medical doctors in Michigan.
He served the city of Detroit and our community, alongside his wife,
for over 40 years. He was the rock of  his family and a fierce advocate for his community and patients.
He was always proud of his Chaldean heritage and one of the first members
of the original Chaldean Community Club, Southfield Manor.
Today, he leaves a strong legacy that will be carried on through his beloved wife, children, and grandchildren.

We Love You, Doc!!!

Due to the ongoing pandemic,
we understand taking precautions
and remaining safe is a priority to us all.
Therefore, the use of masks and social distancing are suggested.

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 thine is the Kingdom and the Power,
and the Glory, for Ever and Ever.
Amen
