Our beloved mother Marie Kiriaki, 91, passed away Monday at Lincolnwood Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center, Smithfield, Rhode Island. Born in Damascus, Syria to the late Nakhleh and Mathilde Aroichane. She became a widow after 45 years of marriage to the late Antoine Kiriaki. She is survived by two sons, Sam Kiriaki and Nabil Kiriaki, two daughters, Therese Hunt and Rita Kiriaki, six grandchildren, Jonathan Hunt, Tiana Kiriaki, Anthony Kiriaki, Christopher Kiriaki, Taleen Koudsi and Alexander Kiriaki, two great granddaughters, and nieces and nephews. She was the sister of the late Elie, Louis, and Antoine Aroichane.

Marie was a strong, kind, generous woman who taught her kids to be independent, was a fabulous cook, loved knitting and sewing, learned to adapt to life in four different countries and made the best of it. Marie loved and spoiled her grandchildren. In her last decade, she battled dementia which ended her journey on earth. Marie was a member of the Church of St. Basil the Great.
We love you mom. God bless your soul and may you rest in peace
