<div itemprop="description">It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Georgia Daskalopoulou, who passed away peacefully on December 1st, 2025. Georgia was born in Athens, Greece, on April 21st, 1936, and moved to Montreal in the late 1950s, where she made her home until June 2016. She is survived by her two children, Harry (Christine) and Nancy (Terry), her grandchildren Jessika (Guillaume), Sarah-Kim (Quintin), Tylor, and Patrick, and her great-grandchildren Nathan, Eloise (Jessika), Sienna, and Maia (Sarah-Kim), as well as many nephews and nieces. <br> <br>Affectionately known as Yiayia, Georgia was deeply loved for her warmth, kindness, and gentle spirit. She carried her Greek heritage with pride and shared it generously through her cooking, her stories, and her laughter. Her legendary meals of tyropita, spanakopita, lamb, Greek potatoes, and pastichio were more than food; they were expressions of love, tradition, and home. <br> <br>She delighted in teaching her grandchildren how to fold phyllo, sharing tales of her childhood, and filling her home with laughter and warmth. <br> <br>She had a gift for making people laugh, often without even trying. Her sense of humour was effortless and pure, the kind that could lift a room. She lived life at her own peaceful pace, never in a rush, always reminding us to slow down and savour the moment. Her home was always a place of comfort, joy, and unconditional love. <br> <br>She lived her early years in Greece during the hardships of WW2 with resilience and courage, and that strength stayed with her throughout her life. <br> <br>Georgia loved cheering for her Montreal Canadiens and Alouettes, watching every game with the same passion she brought to life. To us, she was a storyteller, a nurturer, and a quiet pillar of strength <br> <br>The family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the staff of the East Wing at Father Lacombe Care Centre in Calgary for their compassionate care of Georgia over the past three and a half years. <br> <br>Though our hearts are aching, we are endlessly grateful for the years we had with Georgia for the laughter, the lessons, and the love she gave so freely. Her spirit, her stories, and her gentle presence will remain with us always.</div>
