Samia M. Serry

May 18, 1940 — October 27, 2018

Rochester (Greece), NY:
Saturday, October 27, 2018

Samia Serry went to be with the Lord on October 27th, surrounded by her children. Samia was predeceased by her husband, Selim, her brother, Magdy, and son-in-law, Waseem. Samia has three children, Sonia, Sylvia (Darrin), and Steve (Andrea), and two grandchildren Mariah and Damian. She is also survived by her brothers: Zarif (Salwa) and Wageeh (Eva), sisters: Laurice and Nawal, and sister-in-law, Laurice.

Samia was born in Dairut, Egypt in 1940. She received her masters of fine arts degree, where she majored in sculpting and was later commissioned to create a sculpture of a political figure, which still stands in Egypt today. After marrying her husband in Cairo in May 1969, they moved to the United States in October of that same year. As they began their life together and raised their family in Rochester, New York, Samia also worked as an art teacher for Rochester Christian Academy.

Samia was deeply devoted to her faith in the Lord, spending most of her life sharing her beliefs with others, even bringing God's word to inmates. She lived a very honorable and humble life and was a great inspiration to all who met her and touched the lives of so many. She will be greatly missed.
