Mary Wakim, a beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully at Elliot Hospital in Manchester, NH on June 1st, 2025.

Mary lived a life filled with love, faith, and devotion to her family. For 71 years she dedicated herself to taking care of her daughter, Houda, who she loved so dearly. Mary was a great help for her late husband Pastor Ibrahim Wakim as they ministered together to the church in her country of Lebanon. Mary's warmth and generosity extended to everyone she met, but it was especially felt by her cherished grandchildren and great grandchildren with whom she shared countless joyful memories.

She had a passion for cooking, and her kitchen was always filled with the comforting aromas of homecooked meals. She was always feeding her family. Mary found deep comfort and community in her faith, she loved attending her church Fellowship Bible Church.  She treasured her drives to the beach and lakes, where the simplicity of nature brought her peace. Whether she was enjoying a sunny day outdoors, sitting near the water, or watching her grandkids play, Mary found joy in life's little pleasures.

Every summer, Mary looked forward to her visits to Lebanon, a place that held her roots and her heart. These trips were a treasured tradition, connecting her to her heritage and filling her soul with memories and stories she lovingly passed down.

Mary is survived by her loving sons, George Wakim and wife Lorna of Methuen, MA, Kameel Wakim and wife Hiba of Salem, NH, Samuel Wakim of Salem, NH, Elie Wakim and wife Stephanie of Salem, NH, and Ramzi Wakim and wife Marianne of Hampton, NH, and her brothers, Said Matta of Salem, NH, Fouzi Matta of Lebanon, and Chafic Matta of Maine, and her many grandchildren, great grandchildren, and nieces and nephews.
