Obituary

It is with great sadness that we inform you of the passing of our beloved sister, Mariam Zia Hanoush , known in Religious Life as Sister Pia .

Sr. Pia passed away on October 7, 2025, the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, in San Diego, California. She will be laid to rest in Southfield, Michigan.

Sr. Pia joined the Congregation of the Chaldean Sisters, Daughters of Mary Immaculate on November 1, 1958. She was faithful to her vocation as a bride of Christ and a joyful daughter of Mary. She was a shining example of her life's motto: "Oh Jesus, whatever you want is what I love!"

Daughter of the late Zia Jajjo Hanoush & the late Khokho Jajjo Sitto.

Loving sister of Izat Hanoush, the late Jamila Kannu, Kamila Kachi & Hayat Atto.

ببالغ الحزن نبلغكم بوفاة أختنا العزيزة الراهبة مريم زيا حنوش، المعروفة في الحياة الرهبانية باسم الأخت بيا

انتقلت الأخت بيا إلى الأخدار السماوية يوم الثلاثاء 7 تشرين الأول في 2025 (عيد سيدة الوردية)، في سان دييغو – كاليفورنيا، وسيوارى جثمانها الثرى في ساوثفيلد – ميشيغان

انتمت الأخت بيا إلى رهبانية بنات مريم الكلدانيات  في 1 تشرين الثاني 1958، عاشت امينة لدعوتها، بذلت ذاتها بصمت ووداعة، وكانت مؤمنة أن كل عمل صغير يقدم بمحبة هو صلاة صاعدة إلى السماء.

شعارها الجميل

"يا يسوع، كل ما تريده أنت هو ما أحبه أنا!"

ستبقى روحها البريئة وحضورها المفعم بالفرح ذكرى خالدة في قلوب كل من عرفها. نصلي أن يستقبلها عريسها السماوي وأمنا مريم العذراء عند أبواب السماء، حيث تنعم بالحياة الأبدية بعد أن تسمع الكلمات الموعودة: "نِعِمَّا أَيُّهَا الْعَبْدُ الصَّالِحُ الأَمِينُ!" (متى ٢٥: ٢١)

Her childlike spirit and joyful presence will be sorely missed by all who knew her.

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
