obituaries Abdulahad Bahri Abdulahad Bahri died on August 9, 2008 at his home in Sterling Heights. He was born on July 1, 1924 in Baghdad. Abdulahad was an electrician and an Abdulahad Bahri owner of various businesses throughout his life. He was a volunteer and officer for more than 20 years for the Knights of Columbus as well as a shareholder. He was very family-oriented and he took great pride in his family. He was a caring and loving person. Survivors include his wife of more than 60 years, Mariam Bahri, as well as his eight children, Farouk, Steve, Nader, Ibtsam Ammouri, Nidhal Hamama, Awatef Kada and Holly Shabo. He was predeceased by his child, Nizar Bahri, and his siblings, Roxy Bahri, Bahria Naimi and Jalila Bahri. Surviving siblings are Salem, Jalal, Jamal, Hilal, Evenlen and Khalid Bahri, and Najiba Shabo. Abdulahad also had 26 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Burial is at the Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Southfield. Hasina Denha Kallabat Very few people come into this world and leave an indelible impression on so many as did Hasina Denha Kallabat. She was born in Telkaif, Iraq, on May 10, 1916, and she had one younger sister, Hasina Denha Kallabat Naima. She was married at the young age of 12 to Asso Kallabat, and together they had 12 children. Hasina was extremely devoted to both her family and the church. She loved spending time with her loved ones, and always graciously welcomed every person who came into her home. She instilled into her children the importance of faith and religion. She was so devout that for a considerable time in her life, she attended mass daily. Even in her later years, she would attend mass weekly. It is this same deep-rooted faith and devotion to God that she instilled in each of her grandchildren. Affectionately, they called her “Yuma” and “Aneena,” and she taught them how to pray in Soureth as soon as they learned to speak. She is remembered by her grandchildren as “the best rizza maraka cook ever.” Her grandchildren loved sleeping over her house. They would argue over whose turn it was, and would spend the weekend being pampered by their loving grandmother. Hasina will always be remembered for her magical hands, which had the power to take away pain. When her grandchildren were sick, they would urge their parents to take them to Yuma’s house so that she could massage them and make them feel better. She was also an avid gardener and took much pride in her vegetable garden. Hasina was very active in the prayer groups at Mother of God Church in Southfield for more than 25 years. Her nephew, Father Sabah Kallabat, eulogized her and fondly remembered that she organized prayer groups before the Sacred Heart Church in Detroit opened its doors. He urged her loved ones to continue to live their lives with her sense of faith, and to keep Hasina’s memory alive though the prayers she loved to recite. Hasina Denha Kallabat was the start of five living generations, and has 130 (and counting) descendants. She died peacefully at her Southfield residence surrounded by her loved ones, just as she had wished, on April 22, 2008. She is predeceased by her parents, her husband Asso Kallabat, sister Naima and brother-in-law Abbo Ayar, all of her inlaws, and son-in-laws George Al- Sheikh and Hermiz Kinaya. She is now also joined in heaven by her great granddaughter, Sawsan Hajji Bell. She leaves behind her beloved 12 children: Manuel (Nimat), George (Maysoon), Hikmat, Isam (Dura), Nabil (Nagham), Imad (Suhair), Mary Kinaya, Nazhat Kalabat, Souad Al- Sheikh, Julia (Nassir) Yaldo, Samira (Mansour) Thweni, and Bahira (John) Esshaki, as well as her 45 grandchildren, 64 great-grandchildren, and nine great-great grandchildren. She will be greatly missed by all those whose lives she touched. May God rest her soul, and grant her eternal peace.
