In Loving Memory of Kalliroi Kapetanakis, A Century of Faith, Family, and Strength

Kalliroi Kapetanakis, 100, of Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, passed away peacefully on December 10, 2025.

Born in Mirtopotamia, a village near Kalamata, Greece, she was the daughter of the late Giorgos and Hariklia Stasinopoulos. She grew up surrounded by her beloved siblings, the late Ioannis Stasinopoulos and Aggeliki Bouras.

In 1950, Kalliroi married Chrisafis Kapetanakis, and together they began their life in Thessaloniki, where she welcomed and raised her family. Widowed at a young age, she faced the challenges of life with unwavering strength and resilience, raising her two sons—Constantinos and Giorgos—through hardship and adversity.

In 1966, fueled by hope and determination, she emigrated to the United States in search of a better life for her family. Settling in the Boston area, Kalliroi built a warm and nurturing home rooted in Greek traditions, faith, and love. She was a dynamic, energetic woman whose spirit touched all who knew her. Throughout her long life, she was blessed with the joy of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and a large extended family who cherished her deeply.

Kalliroi is survived by her sons, Constantinos Kapetanakis and his wife, Merope of Medford, MA, and Giorgos Kapetanakis and his wife, Aggeliki, of Thessaloniki, Greece. She leaves behind her loving grandchildren—Irina, Corina, Karolina, and Vassilina Kapetanakis—and her great-grandchildren, Lucio, Elektra, Nafsika, and Iasonas. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews in Greece, all of whom held a special place in her heart.

A Funeral Service will be held on Monday, December 15, 2025 at 10:00 AM at the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church, 70 Montvale Ave., Woburn, MA. Visitation will take place at the church prior to the service from 9:00–10:00 AM. Interment will follow at Oak Grove Cemetery in Medford, MA.

Flowers or donations in Kalliroi’s memory may be made to the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in Woburn or to her longtime parish, the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Boston, MA.

May her memory be eternal.
