Salim Bechara Choueiri

It is with profound sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Salim Choueiri, who departed this life in Ottawa on February 3,

2026, at the age of 84, surrounded by love.

He was the devoted husband of the late Blanche Choueiri (Boushey), with whom he shared a life built on family, faith, and love.
