Niki passed away peacefully in her sleep the morning of Jan 03, 2017. Niki immigrated from Greece in 1962 and met her soul mate Spiro on the flight to Montreal where she lived for the first three years of her life in Canada. They married in 1965 and shortly thereafter moved to Toronto. Together they operated several bakeries starting with Continental Bakery on St Clair Ave W, followed by Acropol Bakery on the Danforth and finally ending with Hellenic Bakery in Scarborough. Niki is survived by her beloved husband of more than 50 years Spiro, loved by her two sons DImitri (Jim) and Stefano (Steve), her loving daughter in laws Angela and Olivia, her cherished grandchildren Alexander and Christopher , her beloved twin brother John, sister in law Dina, niece Mary-Ann and nephew Evangelo with his new bride Melissa as well as her remaining brother Mike and sister in law Mary in Greece. She was pre deceased by her brothers, Christos, Georgos and Vassilis.

Niki had many interests and was a very social person who loved to entertain. She always loved to host parties with lots of music and of course food, no one ever left her home hungry. She loved to sing and dance and always had a smile on her face. She especially enjoyed spending time, playing games and creating puzzles with her grandkids who were her biggest joy in her last few years. She always had a kind word and a smile for everyone she met and always chose to not only see the good in everyone but to always look at the positive side of life.

Her wisdom, humour, laughter and love will be deeply missed by her family. We lost our Angel.

In lieu of flowers we ask donations be made in Niki’s name to the Sunnybrook Foundation.
