Emily R. Saliba (nee Moujaes) passed in her home on February 21 surrounded by her loved ones. She was 95 years old. Born in 1929 in the mountain village of Dhour El Chouier in Lebanon, she was among eight children to Rachid and Jana (Abuzakhm) Moujaes. A beloved wife and mother, Emily wed Albert J. Saliba. They were married for 61 years and raised two daughters, Jamileh and Sue.

She was deeply devoted to her Orthodox Christian faith, frequently baking holy bread and serving on the Crusaders Social Club at St. George Antiochian Orthodox Church in Canton. Emily was passionate about cooking for her family, often hosting holiday celebrations throughout her life, and loved cheering on Ohio State football games. She was her family's beacon, whose hospitality illuminated her kindness and love to those she welcomed into her home, and whose light will be deeply missed.

Emily was preceded in death by her parents, Rachid and Jana; husband Albert; daughter Jamileh; sisters Salwa and Souad and brothers Halim and George. Emily is survived by her youngest daughter, Sue, of Cleveland; sisters Jihan (Yasbeck) Bousamra, of Lebanon, and Leila (Abdullah) Hawarny, of Huntington, W.V, and brother William (Souad) Moujaes, of Sandusky, Ohio; and several nieces, nephews and cousins across the globe.

Family will receive guests from 10-11 a.m. on Wednesday, February 26, 2025 at St. George Antiochian Orthodox Church (1118 Cherry Ave NE in Canton, Ohio 44704), followed by a funeral service from 11 a.m.-12 p.m. She will be buried in a private service.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to St. George Antiochian Orthodox Church in Canton in Emily's name.

May her memory be eternal.
