Mary Abdilnour, 79, of Williston, passed away Saturday afternoon, April 11, 2015 at the Sanford Medical Center in Bismarck. Her funeral will be celebrated Saturday morning, April 25, 2015, at 11:00 a.m. at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Williston, North Dakota. Father Michael Paul will officiate. On the evening of April 11, 2015 our beloved mother and aunt, Mary Abdilnour, 79, left her sickness, pain and suffering behind to be with our Lord in His eternal and loving embrace. Her battle against respiratory complications was fought bravely, but when medicine could not heal her, God did. Mary left this mortal realm, surrounded by the presence and love of her three sons and the love of all her family and friends. Mary (Baza) Abdilnour was born on December 25, 1935 to Brahaim and Marie Baza and raised in the Syrian village of Al Hawash. Wanting to see more of the world, she traveled west through Europe, eventually immigrating to the United States. There she met her future husband, Abraham Abdilnour and three weeks later on November 27, 1965, they were married. The couple established their home in Cleveland, Ohio with Mary remaining at home to raise their children. Several years after the death of her husband, Mary moved to Williston so her children could be closer to their family.
Mary’s world centered around her family and despite raising her children alone, made sure they had everything they could want. An avid homemaker, she enjoyed spending her time cooking for family and tending to her garden. She was renowned for having a large and plentiful garden and enjoyed sharing its bounty with friends and family. Mary was a member of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church and enjoyed participating in church activities whenever she could. She loved the simple life, which she felt is best served helping and giving to other people.
Having made the fashion police Ten Most Wanted List, Mary could be seen in her signature pink shorts and blue or purple shirt. She was strong willed and quick-witted, right up to her final days and never hesitated to say what was on her mind. Mary is preceded in death by her husband, Abraham Abdilnour; her parents, Brahaim and Marie Baza; her father-in-law, George Abdilnour; mother-inlaw, Julia Abdilnour; and sisters-in-law, Evelyn Barkie, Nagia Hadi and Denise Nahkle; and her brother-in-law, Frank Hadi. Her spirit is carried on in her three sons, George, Michael and Louie Abdilnour; and all her nieces and nephews whom she loved like her own children.
