George J. Farah

FARAH - George Jack Farah July, 3rd 1955- March 24, 2019 - George Jack Farah, 63, passed into the Arms of the Lord Sunday, March 24, 2019. George was a member of the Catholic faith, with his main parish of Christ the King Catholic Church. George lived a gregarious life. He never met a stranger, always held out his hand to help others, and was always smiling and laughing. Being around George made you happy. He graduated from Andrew Jackson High School, Class of ’73 and maintained many close relationships with friends from his childhood. George’s career as owner of a food establishment made sure he was able to see and talk to his many friends. Whether you ordered a meal or just a drink, it was great to sit and talk to George.

George was a life-long member of the Ramallah American Club. He was happiest when he knew his heritage was being preserved. There was nothing better in George’s mind than to know his family was happy and being taken care of. It didn’t matter if you were a close or distant relative; George saw everyone with the same, sweet soul that we remember fondly. In retirement, George enjoyed visiting with the men of the Club daily. He was loved by all who knew him and he will be greatly missed.

George was proceeded in death by his father and mother, Jacoub and Georgette Farah, and his nephew Jack Farah III. George is survived by his wife, Jean Shunnarah Farah, and son, George Jack Farah, Jr. He is also survived by his brothers Omar (Martha Shunnarah) and Jack, Jr. (Nadia Alley), sister-in-law Rose Ajlouny, brother-in-laws Randy Shunnarah and Freddy Shunnarah many cousins, nieces, and nephews.
