Samia Said

Samia Said was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and faithful woman of God whose life reflected extraordinary strength, unwavering faith, and deep love for her family.

She carried a quiet grace that filled every room she entered and a faith that sustained those around her through every season of life. Even through years of hardship and suffering, Samia remained steadfast — meeting each day with courage, dignity, gratitude, and unshakable trust in God. She loved Jesus deeply and lived as a true Proverbs 31 woman: faithful, compassionate, sacrificial, and full of wisdom and strength.

Samia was also incredibly funny. She had a way of bringing laughter and warmth to those around her. Her humor, quick wit, and joyful spirit were part of what made her so deeply loved by everyone who knew her.

Her family was her greatest treasure. She poured herself out endlessly for those she loved, covering them in prayer, encouragement, and unconditional love. Her presence was a source of comfort, wisdom, strength, and joy to everyone around her, and the legacy of her faith and love will continue through generations because of her.

Samia’s life was a testimony of perseverance, grace, and devotion to God. Though our hearts are broken by her absence, we take comfort in knowing she is now at peace in the presence of the Lord she loved so deeply.

She is survived by her beloved husband, Saad Said; her daughter, Loura Pappalardo; her son, Mark Said; her cherished grandson, Noah Pappalardo; and her son-in-law, Jarrod Pappalardo.
