Outside of work, Djamila found joy in nature and cherished time spent with loved ones. She loved to hike, visit the beach, and be surrounded by family. These moments brought her peace and happiness, and she shared that joy freely with those around her.

Djamila was a woman of strong values and deep faith. She was known for her beautiful soul and caring heart while always uplifting others with encouraging words and thoughtful prayers. Her generosity knew no bounds; she consistently extended herself to help those in need without hesitation or expectation.

She leaves behind her husband Adel Guermas and her two sons Yanni Guermas, and Sami Guermas, who will forever hold her memory close. Her absence is deeply felt by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

A memorial service was held in Livermore, California, honoring the life of a woman whose kindness left a great impression on everyone she met.

May Djamila’s memory bring comfort to those who mourn her and serve as a lasting reminder of the power of compassion and love.
