Obituary of Loure Awad El-Diri

Loure Awad El-Diri- Age 83, of Halifax. With heavy hearts and deep sorrow, we mourn the passing of our beloved matriarch, a remarkable woman whose warmth, wisdom, and devotion will live on in our hearts forever. Loure was born to Joseph and Tahmineh Awad of Tripoli, Lebanon. Loure possessed unshakable strength, boundless warmth, and a wisecracker’s humor, often delivered with a perfectly timed sarcastic remark. She offered gentle guidance with a knowing smile, carrying us through life’s most difficult moments and surrounding us with a love that felt like home. Survived by her son, Nicholas; two daughters, Hala, and Roula; and four grandchildren, Eddy, Eletta, Naya, and Joy-Lee. Predeceased by her beloved eldest son, Oussama; her parents, Joesph and Tahmineh; and her siblings, Salim, Josphine, Rose, Azzar, and Mona. Visitation will be held Wednesday, February 4, 2026, from 4pm-7pm, in T.J. Tracey Cremation and Burial Specialist, 71 McQuade Lake Cres., Beechville. Funeral service will be held on Thursday, February 5, 2026, at 11am in Saint Antonios Antiochian Orthodox Church, 2480 Windsor Street, Halifax, with Father Paisios and Father Georges Officiating. Interment to follow in St. Anthonios Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Saint Antonios Antiochian Orthodox Church. In honoring Loure’s legacy, let us remember the love she shared, the joy she brought, and the lasting impact she made on our lives. May her soul rest in eternal peace.
