Dear Msgrs., Fathers, Deacons, and Subdeacons,
It is our sad duty to announce the passing of Genevieve Maroun, the mother of Chorbishop Sharbel Maroun today at the age of 98.
She is survived by her children: Nassif Maroun (Nawal), Lebnan Maroun (Guitta), Reverend Chorbishop Sharbel Maroun, Maroun Maroun (Helene), Violette Abou Jaoude, and Juliette (George) El Kassis, her grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
The family will receive condolences on Sunday, July 9 from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM at St. Sharbel Maronite Catholic Church, 526 Easton Ave, Somerset, NJ.
Condolences may be sent to Chorbishop Sharbel Maroun at St. Maron Church, 600 University Ave NE, Minneapolis, MN 55413.
The Funeral Liturgy will be held on Monday, July 10 at 10:00 AM at St. Sharbel Church in Somerset and will be followed by the burial at Resurrection Cemetery in Piscataway.
In lieu of flowers, the family has asked for donations to be made to St. Sharbel Church or Noursat TV in her memory.
Now as her heart has stopped beating on earth, it is time for Genevieve to enjoy everlasting life in the Father's home.
Please keep Genevieve and her family in your prayers. May she rest in peace.
Yours in Christ,
--
