It is with broken hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved wife, mother, daughter and sister Kathleen. She was a beautiful and caring person who touched the lives of many. Kathleen was the beloved wife of Mano and the cherished mother of Ella, Ethan and Madeleine. She will be deeply missed by her devoted parents Mike and Olga Dilkas, her parents-in-law Mihalis and Argyro Kanetos, her loving brother Steven, his wife Lina, grandparents Elia and Thelma Gulin, and by her nieces and nephews, Maria, Alexandra, Michael and Otis. She will also be forever remembered by many extended family, friends, colleagues and cherished students.

Family and friends will be received at ELGIN MILLS CEMETERY & FUNERAL CENTRE, 1591 Elgin Mills Rd.E., Richmond Hill (east of Leslie St., 905-737-1720) on Wednesday, December 13th from 5:30-8:30 p.m. A funeral mass will be held at St. Panteleimon Greek Orthodox Church, 11359 Warden Ave, Markham on Thursday, December 14th at 10 a.m. Interment to follow at Elgin Mills Cemetery.

We would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to Markham Stouffville Hospital for all of its care. We would especially like to thank the Emergency Department staff for their support and compassion and the Critical Care team, including Dr. Anand Doobay, for their valiant and unrelenting efforts.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Markham Stouffville Hospital in Kathleen’s name. These donations will support the family’s goal of establishing a continuing education bursary to honour her passion and legacy. The link to make a donation is found below.
