With profound sadness, we announce the peaceful passing of Kathy Traikos on Tuesday, October 21, 2025. She was a beloved daughter, sister, wife, mother, and grandmother whose gentle spirit touched the lives of all who knew her.
Kathy was born on January 19, 1956, in Marina, Florina, Greece, to Anastasios and Evangelia Konstantinidis. She was the cherished older sister of Andy (Helen) Konstantinidis and brought joy and light to her family from her earliest days.
For nearly 50 years, Kathy was the devoted wife of Stavros Traikos. Together, they built a life centered on love, family, and traditions. They raised three children: Dimitra (Jamie Ritskos), Tom (Ashleigh), and Philip, instilling in them the values of compassion, hard work, and family connection that defined Kathy's own life.
Kathy's greatest joy was her family. Her proudest and most treasured role was that of Yiayia to her four grandchildren: Jordan, Evangeline, Sophia, and Steven. She will always be remembered for baking for her many nieces and nephews.
We were profoundly blessed to have Kathy in our lives. Her legacy of love, generosity, and devotion will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
May her memory be eternal.
