In memory of

Kelly Michalakos

It is with much sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt. On Sunday, July 2nd, 2023, Kelly Michalakos passed away at the age of 64, with her closest family and loved ones by her side.

Survived by her partner Ted Macheras, her son Thomas, and his wife Melissa; grandson Henry; stepchildren Tina (John) and Jimmy ; grandchildren Natasha, George and Theodore, her mother Angela, her uncle John, her sisters Despina (Denny), Angela (Jim) and brother Michael, nieces, Connie (Frank), Gina, Leah, Jessica and nephews John and William, and her 5 grandnieces and nephews. Kelly was predeceased by and now reunited with her loving father George Boutsakis and aunt Panagiota Boutsakis. Kelly will also be greatly missed by the father of her son, Peter.

Kelly had a laugh that could light up a room. She was born into a big fat Greek family in Toronto, Ontario where she grew up surrounded by a loving family. She graduated from college where she studied computers. At 23 years old she became a mother to her pride and joy, her son, Thomas. Kelly took pride in her work and career, providing for her family brought her so much joy. She began her career as an assistant pharmacist at Towers, before moving into investments and banking where she held many roles at TD Canada Trust, Sunlife and Royal Bank.

Kelly would have wanted her funeral to be a celebration of her life so please join us in honouring that wish.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Liver Foundation will be greatly appreciated.

We had a unconventional upbringing. 2 dads (my uncle & dad) & my mom. They made it work. We didn't know it was different. Kelly was a tomboy growing up. Didn't hesitate to jump in if we were being picked on. Always had our back. I became a tomboy cuz of her. Going thru old pictures brings a flood of memories & tears. I had 2 older sisters & a younger brother. Now i have 1 sister & a bro. Love you, gonna miss you tons

I have known Kelly all of my life. Her obituary truly captures who she was as a person. I remember her family always came first. I am sad to hear about her passing but I am also grateful that I was able to know such a wonderful person.

This is a huge loss for her family. She will be greatly missed. A loss that came way too soon.

My sincerest condolences to all of her family members who I know are grieving.

May her memory be eternal.

God bless.

Thoughts with the family at this time.
Kelly was a kind and funny human being.
One of the few people in the office you could have a good joke with.
I will miss her laugh, her kindness, and her insight.
Truly a terrible loss.

Kelly, I can't think of any words to express my sadness. You were a second mom to me growing up and I am going to miss you. Thank you for everything, especially those Thanksgiving dinners that will never be the same. I promise to be there for Thomas, Melissa, and especially Henry as much as I can, but will never be able to fill even a portion of the void you have left behind. I love you, and really hope you're in a better place now.

Sincerely,

Your second son,

Armin
