With sorrow we announce the passing of our devoted mother and grandmother, Calliroe (Lois) Karbaliotis neé Eliacopoulos, on October 10, 2026 at Hillsdale Terrace in Oshawa Ontario, at the age of 100. She will be missed by family and friends.

Lois is survived by her sons, Constantine (Helen) and Panagiotis; granddaughter Calleroi (Mike) and grandson Nicolas; sisters Ritsa (Abe) and niece Eleni (Michael), niece Evgenia (Kimon), and nephews Yanni, Costa, Evgenios and Dino. She was predeceased by her husband of 50 years, Nicholas in 2010; her parents, Panagiotis and Elpitha, and sisters Politimi, Estathia, and her brother George, and her niece Panagiota and nephew Athanasios.

Born June 6, 1926 at Loutro, Messinia, Greece where she worked on her parents’ farm, among the olive groves, and took care of her own grandparents. She survived the hardships of the occupation during the war, and then later emigrated to Alberta in the early 1950’s. Lois worked in many roles, and was a skilled seamstress; she sponsored her husband Nick to come to Canada, and they married in 1960. In addition to running her household and raising her two sons, she helped her husband’s shoe repair at the till, and in Edmonton she was famous as a cook, dress maker, and for making her own wine – anything Lois turned her hand to, she did with excellence. All who met Lois were enriched by her love, her humour, and her many stories. 

We thank our family, friends, and colleagues for their support, and wish to express our thanks to the staff of Hillsdale Terrace for their care of Lois.
