Myriam Chidiak
It is with deep sadness we announce that Myriam Chidiak, beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin and friend, passed away on October 24, 2022 at age 62 in Edmonton, Alberta.

Myriam was a special soul with a generous heart. She welcomed all into her home and was always ready to listen, help and of course, offer food and drink. She courageously battled health issues the last 6 years of her life but never wavered in her love of seeing and being with others, and still enjoyed life as much as she could manage. We are grateful for every moment we were lucky to have with her. She will live in our hearts forever.

So very sorry for your loss. Sincere Sympathy. We all have such loving memories of Myriam, she will be in our hearts forever.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Myriam was my partner @ the Public Trustee for many years. She enjoyed her career and helping others. But her biggest love was her family; she spoke of them often💗 RIP Myriam
My condolences to the families.
I meet Myriam at Ness Junior High in good old Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Once she moved to Edmonton, there was always a place to stay and spectacular food. Even a few weeks after David was born, she welcomed me into her home for a visit.
John Taylor Collegiate class of 1979 – When able, Myriam would always set aside vacation time to come to Winnipeg for a visit. The stories I could tell about our High School Reunions would make you laugh and cry all at the same time.
Myriam – As time goes by, you will never be forgotten. Forever in our hearts.
To all members of the family that she devoted her life:
I am sorry for your loss. Myriam was a very loving soul. She will be miss and never forgotten.
My thoughts are with Myriam’s family close friends. She was a wonderful person and always had a smile. She will be greatly missed.
The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,
he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley,I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
Amen,
Myriam, you was always a good friend to me, I will always remember you

To David and Family

I’m so sorry to hear about Myriam. I worked with Myriam for so many years and she was just the nicest person. Always has the time to answer my questions no matter how busy she is. I remember her taking me out for drinks for good luck before I take a year off from work. She was such a caring person. Myriam will be greatly missed.
David, so very sorry to hear about your mom’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this trying time.
On behalf of Myriam’s family, thank you for the kind and heartwarming comments. They give us comfort and joy in our hearts to know Myriam was appreciated for the amazing and caring person she was. She obviously touched everyone who was lucky to know her. Our warmest appreciation.
Sincerest condolences Joe, Karen and girls, David, Leah and Rya, & Christine and Ed at this sad time….John and I always enjoyed the Calgary and Edmonton visits we had with Myriam in the few short years we knew her. We were all overjoyed when Rya was born almost 7 years ago – and the special memories we all made together in both Edmonton and Calgary. She was a lovely and kind lady, with a great faith, and will be missed by so many. As her caring and supportive brother, and your entire family, may you be comforted knowing she is now resting peacefully in the arms of the Lord. Wishing you strength in the days ahead and we’ll be with you in spirit for Friday’s livestream service, as we are currently out of the country. Take care, Marla and John 🙏
Memory eternal, may the Lord rest her soul among the Saints in Heavenly Jerusalem. May God comfort her family and friends.
We have enjoyed our friendship with the Chidiak family during their stay in Winnipeg, almost 40 years ago, and thank God that this relationship continued on through Myriam and Joe after the passing of their parents.
I worked with Myriam in the mid to late 90s at the Public Trustee’s Office.
She always was so nice to me, to everyone. Always smiling, so friendly. She even organized an office wedding gift for me.
A good person gone too soon.
So sorry for your loss. We all have such loving memories of Myriam. She will be missed greatly and will stay in our hearts forever.
Myrium was a very kind, helpful and loving person ❤️. We all will cherish her memories forever. I worked with Myrium for 7 years at the Office of The Public Trustee and enjoyed talking to her. She was so proud of her family. Thanks to her brother Joe for keeping us all informed of Myrium’s health and wellbeing. Rest in peace 🙏 my beautiful friend 😢.
My deepest sympathy and condolences to the Chidiak Family. Have comfort that she is now in a better place.

God bless you, Myriam; we know you are safe and with God!
It is with deep sadness, I send my sincere condolences to dear Joe, Karen, Isa & Gaby, to David, Leah & Rya and to Chris for the great loss of precious Myra.
We have beautiful old memories with Myra as a family back when she was still visiting Egypt with uncle Kamal, aunt Loudy & Joe that was back almost 39 years ago or more. We always loved Myra so much.
We will continue to cherish our beautiful memories with her and my uncle and his family, a special relationship that continued over the years despite the distances.
Myra, the beautiful, special, kind hearted, loving and sweet person, Rest In Peace dear cousin. You will always remain in our hearts ♥️.
It was a wonderful service she was a dear friend, David and family you did a great job and the firemen were a nice touch! I will remember all the times we had at the golf course, hockey rinks, parties, dinners and our trip to Vegas. She was so proud of her family and her love will always be with you.
Condolences to Myriam’s family and many friends. Myriam loved her family dearly. She was a co-worker at the OPT from 1999 to 2006, and our paths crossed many times since. Myriam was smart, kind, and always helpful. The service you had for her was beautiful and heartwarming. Over the years, Myriam touched many lives, and she will be remembered fondly.
