Salma Murr Mehio
Salma Murr Mehio, 93, of Nederland, died Sunday, August 25, 2024. She was born July 23, 1931, in Bteghrine, Lebanon, to Mary Saliba Murr and Wadih Murr.
Salma Mehio was an angel who touched the lives of everyone who had the pleasure of being in her presence. She came to America from Lebanon with her four children and raised them fearlessly and selflessly on her own. She spent countless hours learning English and studying to give her and her children a fulfilling life. She was so proud to become a medication aide and taking care of her residence was her joy. Salma had a contagious laugh, and her smile was impossible not to match. To her kids, she was a steadfast, loving mother who you could always depend on. To her grandchildren, she gave the best hugs and could always make you smile, even when you did not feel like it. She will always hold a very special place in everyone’s hearts. She will always be remembered for her hilarious jokes, her yummy recipes, her unending love for everyone around her, and the countless loving memories that she graced her family with.

Finally got my thoughts together. You and your daughters welcomed us into your lives with open arms. You all gave us a new start in Texas. Thank you for your care and kindness. You will be missed.
God bless you. In my thoughts and prayers.
My Condolences to Ms Donna and her family. Your mother was a beautiful woman, I always enjoyed seeing her smile and friendliness towards all.
Mrs. Salma was a hoot! She was so sweet and probably didn’t want me to be her babysitter at first lol. She taught me a lot. Listening to her stories and knowing her, she was one of the strongest women I have ever met. She loved her family endlessly and they loved her. She will be greatly missed ❤️
Deepest condolences for the Mehio family as this is a tremendous loss 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I am so very sorry for the loss of your mother. She was one of the most kindest and sweetest person I have ever met. She showed me so much love every time I was with her. She would hug me, kiss me, and tell me she loved me. The last time I saw her she was there to see John and I could just feel the love she had for him and the pain I felt losing him. I knew she wanted to take care of both of us. Her just being there was a blessing. God made a special lady to be your mom and a special friend to all who new her. May God give all of you strength, peace and comfort all the days to come. I love you all!❤️
She was the best grandma anyone could ever ask for. She was never too busy to whip up a meal in the matter of minutes. You didn’t have a choice on whether you were going to eat around grandma. She was going to feed you no matter what. That was one of her many love languages. At some point she is going to sit you down directly in front of her and say “Tell me something new “. She had a way of making you feel like you’re the center of the universe, absolute royalty. Her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren were the absolute Center of her universe. I don’t know that the world has known such a caring and gentle person other than Jesus Christ himself. This is a deep loss yet we must pick ourselves up in order to carry on her Legacy.
Our dear mom, you were the rock in our family, the best mother in the world! We thank God for the 93 years you were here with us! Your love and caring for us all your family, friends, mostly your love for our Lord Jesus Christ, and attending church your whole life ever since I can remember here and when in Lebanon! Love you always!!!!!
Your daughter, Hanane Porter
Prayers to the Mehio family. So sorry for your loss. I have nothing but fond memories growing up at the end of Jackson St a couple of houses down. Salma is resting in the arms of Jesus in paradise!
