It is my great sadness to share that my mother & lifetime friend Eva Stamatiades Pergantis passed away in her sleep yesterday morning. Yaya fought the good fight & lived 88 meaningful years. She lived independently up until 2 months ago. I am thankful for the unconditional love & closeness we shared up until the end. She was a caring friend & relative to all & always wanted to help everyone in her own way. Thank you to the many people that touched her life, she really did appreciate it. Monday from 4-8pm at Hines Rinaldi funeral home 11800 New Hampshire Ave, Silver Spring, MD, Tuesday 11:30am St. George GO Church 7701 Bradley Blvd Bethesda MD immediately following Maryland Veterans Cemetery 1122 Sunrise Beach Rd, Crownsville, MD 21032 Yaya loved animals so if you are inclined to make a donation in her name a great organization is www.ahepa-servicedogs.org
