It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Niki Tsorlinis, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. She passed peacefully on August 4, 2025, at the age of 97, surrounded with love and her family.

Niki was born on July 20, 1928, in Vevi Florina, Greece. She immigrated to Canada in 1979 with her family. She loved to dance and knit—all the baby booties, hats, cardigans and of course many pairs of tarlikia (slippers) were made with care and affection. She never missed a chance to get all fancied up for a society dance, a wedding, or simply to meet friends at the mall for coffee. One of her greatest joys was spending time with her children and their families, who brought her endless pride and happiness. She also cherished returning to her beloved home in Greece every summer, where she spent precious time with relatives in her beautiful, flower-filled yard, attended church, and village festivals.

Beloved wife to John Tsorlinis. Loving mother to her son Athanasios (Tom) Tsorlinis (Christina), and her daughters Athina (Noula) Pachneris (Nick) and Aikaterini Keti (Kathy) Doucas (Alex). Cherished Baba/Yiayia to John Tsorlinis (Julia), Nicole Doucas (Karl), Alexandra Bomba (Eugene), Peter Doucas (Jessica), Maria Panacos (Peter), Marianthee Carpino (Adam), Kosta Pachneris, and Yiani Pachneris, and Great-grandmother to Emma, Isabella, Zoe, Angelo, Xander, Angelina, Maia, and Cora. Devoted sister to nine siblings. Caring Aunt to many nieces and nephews.

Her memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. In lieu of flowers, consider donating to the Alzheimer Society of Toronto.

We thank you for your prayers and thoughts.
