May 1, 1939 – February 11, 2026
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Anna Gonidis (née Georgandopoulou) on February 11, 2026, in Kamloops, British Columbia, at the age of 86.
Anna was born on May 1, 1939, in Greece to her loving parents, Niko and Dimitra. In 1963, she immigrated to Canada with her beloved husband, Costandinos, seeking a better life and new opportunities. The early years in Canada were not easy, but through hard work, determination, and faith, they built a life together that eventually became home.
She leaves to cherish her memory her daughter, Kathy (Kelly) McGonigal; her cherished granddaughter, Portiaa McGonigal; her sisters, Eleni and Eleftheria; her nieces and nephew, Filinda, Dimitra, Taxiarhy, and Katerina; as well as numerous extended family members and friends. Anna was predeceased by her parents, her husband Costandinos, her brother, and her dear best friend.
Anna was a generous and loving woman who embraced life fully. She found her greatest joy in time spent with family and friends, and her warmth, kindness, and strength will be remembered by all who knew her.
May her memory be eternal.
A Funeral Service will be held on Thursday, February 19, at the Ukrainian Orthodox Church on 1044 8th Street in Kamloops. Viewing will begin at 10:00a.m., followed by the Service at 10:30a.m. Burial will follow, with a light lunch and time of remembrance to be held in the church basement afterward.
