MALAKEE (HUSSON) ABODEELY, 96, of San Francisco, California and previously Charleston, W.Va., passed away on Saturday, September 14, 2019, at her home in San Francisco after a long illness.
She was the 13th child born to George and Ghantousse Husson of Aita al-Foukhar, Lebanon. Her father was an Orthodox priest. Malakee came to the United States in 1946 and after a brief period in California, settled in Charleston for a number of years with her brothers and sisters, all of whom are now deceased. She later moved to Northern California to be with her two sons.
Malakee took on the tough task of raising two sons on her own, often by working long hours six days a week as a seamstress and dressmaker. She did so without having any formal education and with English as her second language. Her entire life was devoted to her two sons, one of whom (Arthur), passed away at the age of 37 from multiple sclerosis. Her greatest joy in life was her family, all of whom loved her dearly. She was the best mother a child could ask for; an incredible cook; had a great sense of humor and was devoted to God her entire life.
Malakee is survived by her son George, her grandchildren Alissa, Andrew, Stella and Grace, and her great-grandchildren Danny and Riley. There will be a church service and viewing at 6 PM on Friday, September 20th at St. George Orthodox Cathedral. There will be a funeral service at 11 AM on Saturday, September 21st at St. George Orthodox Cathedral, followed by a burial service at Sunset Memorial Park in South Charleston,
