OBITUARY
It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved mother, Helen Laskaris, at the age of 95 on September 3rd at her home in Patchogue, surrounded by her loving family. She was an incredible and strong woman who showed us her strength everyday by the way she lived her life and always being there for family and friends when needed.
Emigrating from Greece at the age of 23, she faced the challenges of early widowhood and single-handedly raised her three children—Matoula, Michael (and Tina), and George. She set an example for all of us and instilled great values in her children, her 5 grandkids - Michael and (Kelly), Dean, Steven (and Erin), Maria, and Chris (and Brian) and her great grandkids - Michael, Brielle, Kaylee, Laila, Rayanna, and Antonia.
Her life was filled with joy, kindness and remarkable achievements. Despite facing health challenges in recent years, including several strokes, she always maintained a positive outlook. In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to the American Stroke Foundation (stroke.org).
A memorial service will be held as follows:
Visitation: Thursday, Sept 5th, from 4-8 PM at Robertaccio Funeral Home, 85 Medford Ave, Patchogue, NY
Funeral Service: Friday, Sept 6th, at 11 AM at St. John’s Greek Orthodox Church, 77 Montauk Highway, Blue Point, NY
