Andromache Charalambides

Andromache “Mache” Charalambides

1946 – September 24, 2026

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, wife, and friend, Andromache “Mache” Charalambides, who passed away peacefully on September 24, 2026, at the age of 80.

Born in Xanthi, Greece, in 1946, Mache married the love of her life, Stratos Charalambides, in Thessaloniki in 1964. Together, they built a beautiful life filled with love, family, music, dance, and community. After 60 years of marriage, Stratos passed away in 2022. Mache now joins her beloved husband once again.

Mache was a woman whose warmth could fill a room. Her beautiful smile welcomed everyone, and her kindness was felt by countless people throughout her life.

She was a woman of many talents and passions. She was a hairdresser, seamstress, restaurateur, and Greek dance teacher with the Alexander the Great Association. She and Stratos shared a deep love of dancing, and Mache passed that love on to many generations of dancers. Through teaching, she brought people together and helped keep her Greek heritage and traditions alive.

Mache also opened her heart and home to international students for many years, finding great joy in welcoming them into her family and making them feel at home. She had a gift for making people feel cared for, accepted, and loved.

But above all else, Mache was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. She is survived by her daughter Sophie (Alberto), her son Dennis, and her five adored grandchildren: Anthony, Andreas, Stratos, Connor, and Alexandra. Her grandchildren were the great loves of her life, and the love she gave each of them will remain a part of who they are forever.

Her life touched so many people in the most loving way. She taught us to welcome others, to love deeply, to cherish family, and to carry kindness wherever we go.

Mache was a woman of deep faith. She believed in God, and we find comfort knowing that she is now at peace, reunited with her beloved Stratos.

We love you, Yiayia.

Your beautiful smile, your loving hugs, your kindness, and the warmth you brought into our lives will never be forgotten.

May your soul soar with the angels, and may you rest peacefully in the arms of God.

Until we meet again, Yiayia.

You will be loved forever and missed every day.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Children's Hospital would be appreciated.

Crossing the Bar

By Lord Alfred Tennyson

Sunset and evening star,

And one clear call for me!

And may there be no moaning of the bar,

When I put out to sea;

But such a tide as moving seems asleep,

Too full for sound and foam,

When that which drew from out the boundless deep,

Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell,

And after that the dark!

And may there be no sadness of farewell,

When I embark.

For tho’ from out our bourne of time and place

The flood may bear me far,

I hope to see my Pilot face to face,

When I have crossed the bar.
