Marleine Ibrahim Lababidi, 78

December 11th, 1938-January 25th, 2017

Marleine Ibrahim Lababidi, age 78, passed away peacefully at her home in Akron, Ohio surrounded by her loving family after a courageous battle with cancer. She was born in Zahle, Lebanon to the late Ibrahim Kharrat and Mountaha Fatouch and was the oldest of six sisters. Marleine is survived by her loving, devoted husband of 55 years, Ghassan Lababidi; eldest son, Walid Lababidi married to Renee Lababidi (nee Daugherty) and their 3 children, Jason, Sophia, and Alexander; daughter Rola Lababidi-Rached married to Najib Rached and their 3 children, Sharbel, Rabecca, and Christian; son Tony Lababidi, married to Christine Lababidi (nee Hanz) and their 3 children, Marleina, Angeline, and Antony; Sisters: Jacqueline Zaatar (Tony), Nouhad Srour, Julie El Nmeir (Fawzi-deceased), and Georgette Abdelnour (Khalil). She joins her dear sister Laurice Malek in heaven as well as other beloved family members and friends. She also leaves behind many friends, nieces, nephews, cousins and in-laws both at home and abroad whom she treasured.

Marleine’s life can be summed up simply through her passion and devotion to her faith and family. Marleine’s wish was to see all of her children and grandchildren pursue the highest education possible and their many accomplishments have been her greatest source of pride. Spending time with her grandchildren and educating them on the importance of a strong faith was her greatest joy. Everyone who knew her was touched by her generosity and caring nature. She was an active member at Our Lady of the Cedars Church where she had many close friends whom she also considered her family in Christ.
