"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.  Now there in store for me the crown of righteousness" 2 Timothy 4:7
Mrs. Awadalla was born Sept. 10, 1960, in Cairo, Egypt, a daughter of Sobhy and Susan Neseem Abdelmalak. Along with her husband and daughters, they moved to the United States in 1990 and came to the Mahoning Valley in 1992.
