It is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the passing of our beloved Eleni Paraschis on May 5th, 2021 at the age of 90.

She will be lovingly remembered and missed by her husband of 70 years Kiriakos; children, Athena (Jim), Ilia, Katarina (predeceased in infancy) and Kim (Jim); grandchildren, Alexandra and Nicholas.

Eleni was born in Itea-Florina, Greece in 1930 and lived through a difficult world and civil war along with her parents George and Soultana and six siblings, Anastasios, Pavlos, Iordana, Dimitrios, Ilias and Christos until marrying Kiriakos in 1950. After 13 years and two children she immigrated to Canada in 1963. Soon after she had her third child and managed through all the difficulties to teach herself to speak, read and write english. Eleni lived a simple life and was a faithful servant of God. Her sole purpose was to be a loving wife, mother and grandmother. She was selfless and always there for her family, offering delicious meals, long talks and great advice. Her grandchildren were the light of her life and she cherished the many years spent helping raise them.

She is dearly loved and will be greatly missed by her immediate and extended family. Her final resting place will be at Pine Hills Cemetary, 625 Birchmount Rd., Scarborough. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, a private visitation and funeral service will be held at Pine Hills Funeral Centre on Tuesday, May 11th, 2021 at 9am. There will be a live broadcast via the memorial site for all friends and family.
