It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Terpsihori “Terpsi” Kolovadis (nee Diakopoulos) on January 27, 2025, at the age of 79.
Terpsi was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. She is survived by her husband of 57 years, George, her cherished daughter and son-in-law, Angela and Chris Anastasopoulos, and her adored grandsons John and George. She is predeceased by her daughter Dina, her parents Nikolaos and Georgina Diakopoulos, her brother Peter Diakopoulos, and sisters Dionisia Trigazis and Stavroula Katchulis.
Terpsi was born on July 5, 1945, in Pyrgos, Ilias, Greece. In 1966, she emigrated to Toronto, Canada, to join her bother and sisters with dreams of building a brighter future. In 1968, she married George who joined her in Toronto from Greece. A skilled and passionate hairdresser, Terpsi took pride in owning and operating Terpsi’s Beauty Salon for over 50 years, serving Toronto’s west end community and fostering countless friendships along the way.
