Alexandra (Alex) CALVOCORESSI PAPATHEODOSSIOU, 95, died of natural causes August 4, 2020, at a Montreal hospital. She was born March 1, 1925, in Athens, Greece, the daughter of Dimitrios and Marouko (Negroponte) Calvocoressis.
She married Ioannis Papatheodossiou on November 22, 1954, and they lived in Sudan, Chios, Athens and Montreal.
She was predeceased by her husband, Ioannis Papatheodossiou, and her brother, Miltos Calvocoressis. Surviving her are son Demitri Papatheodossiou, of Montreal, her daughter Evie Papatheodossiou and her husband Niels Kruyt, of Enschede, and her daughter Maria Papatheodossiou and her husband Phillip Kontaxis, of Athens; four grandchildren, Pieter Kruyt, Joanna Alexandra Kruyt, Theodora Kontaxis and Alexandra Kontaxis.
We will always remember her kindness and positive disposition. She was known as “mamos”, the safe harbour and a beacon of wisdom for the younger generations, who lived in Canada, away from their parents. She will be greatly missed!

Απο μια απιστευτη συμπτωση, διάβασα για τον θάνατο της μητέρας σας. Τα θερμά μου συλλυπητηρια σε ολη την οικογένεια σας. Ευχομαι, να ζειτε, για να τη θυμάστε...
My deepest sympathies to you, Demitri, and to your whole family. It's a terrible loss to lose one's mother no matter how long a life she has led. Alex was such a special person: always positive, generous, with a wonderful, welcome sense of humour. She loved her family so dearly and was blessed to have such a devoted son. Wishing you all peace and strength.
