Tsambika KOUTROS Obituary
Peacefully, after a long & courageous battle with ALS, surrounded with love, she gently passed in the arms of her loving daughter, caregiver and best friend on August 16, 2015 at the age of 83 years. Reunited with her beloved husband Nikolaos (2003). Devoted and loving mom to Kathy (John) Yiannou, Sam (Michelle) and Mike (Angela). Adoring yiayia of Eleni (Adam) Campeau, Peter (Andrea) Yiannou, Nicholas, Victoria, Nicholas, Kristi and soon to be great-yiayia to Baby Yiannou. Dear sister of George Stratis (Gregoira) and predeceased by Alex, Maria and Primi. She will be sadly missed by extended family in Canada, the United States and Greece. Tsambika and her husband emigrated from Greece to provide a better life for their growing family, and devoted their time and faith to the Holy Cross Greek Orthodox Church where she was one of the founding members. We are so grateful to have had her in our lives; her journey with ALS has now ended and she is finally at peace. A special thank you to her caregivers at Aspen Lake (Sandwich Town). Visitation at

Kathy and family,
My heart is so heavy for you right now! You are a hero Kathy! It is not easy being a caregiver and I know how much you put into that making your mom feel comfortable. She is at peace. That's never easy to hear but in time, it is all we have left to believe. My sincerest sympathies. Always thinking of you...

We are so sad to hear of aunt Tsampika's passing.
Our deepest sympathies.
She was a wonderful person and was full of love for everyone. She was so proud of her family. I'll never forget the great times we would spend around the table at the family gatherings. Her house was always open to anyone who needed her. She was a kind, strong and caring lady.
Goodbye Thea mou, may you finally find peace and tranquillity in heaven after all these years of suffering.
You will always be in our hearts.
