In memory of

Joanna Jane Orfanidou

September 1, 1951 -  September 5, 2025

In Loving Memory of Joanna Orfanidou


Today, we gather with heavy hearts to honor the life of Joanna Orfanidou—a woman whose presence was a quiet but powerful testimony to the love of Jesus Christ.


Joanna’s testimony wasn’t just in words—it was in her radiant smile, her gentle spirit, and her unwavering strength. Even as she faced serious illness, she never faltered. Her simplicity, humility, and kindness were a reflection of the Christ she loved so deeply.

To know Joanna was to witness a rare purity of heart. She was a sister, an aunt, a friend—and to many, a spiritual guide.

Though our hearts ache, we rejoice in the certainty that Joanna is now in the presence of the One she served so faithfully. Her life was a light, and that light will continue to shine in our memories, in our stories, and in the quiet ways she changed us.


We will miss her and she left a large void in our hearts.

Oh, Jane... We were supposed to meet at my place after you got our of the hospital! It looks like we'll have that meeting but in a different location. How I will miss our get-togethers. They were always a special time. Rest in peace my dear friend. Till we meet again.

ΝΟΥΝΟΥ ΔΕΛΗΓΙΑΝΝΙΔΟΥ (ΞΑΔΕΡΦΗ)

Ήταν ένας καταπληκτικός μοναδικός άνθρωπος, με πολλά χαρίσματα και καλλιτεχνικά αλλά και λογοτεχνικά . Ήταν μια ανοιχτή αγκαλιά για όλους , φίλους, συγγενείς αλλά και για απλούς γνωστούς, με πραγματική αγάπη, με δοτικότητα και πάντα με το χαμόγελο παρόλα τα πολλά προβλήματα που αντιμετώπιζε με την υγεία της. Η αγάπη της για τον Κύριο ήταν μεγάλη κι αυτή την έκανε να αγαπάει όλους τους γύρω της χωρίς εξαίρεση. Για μένα προσωπικά ήταν πολύ περισσότερο από ξαδέρφη. Ήταν αδερφή. Όσο κι αν ξέρω οτι εκεί που βρίσκεται τώρα είναι πολύ καλύτερα, για μένα αυτός ο αποχωρισμός πονάει πολύ. Αναμνήσεις πολλές, από διάφορα μέρη του κόσμου που βρεθήκαμε μαζί, παλιές και καινούγιες. Αυτές και το γλυκό της χαμόγελο θα μου μείνουν από την τόσο αγαπημένη μου ξαδέρφη .
