It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother and grandmother, Euterpe “Effie” Passa, on August 4, 2025, at the age of 96. Born in Athens, Greece, on July 23, 1929, Effie was the beloved daughter of Andrea and Irini Passas and the youngest of thirteen children. She immigrated to Canada in 1953 to join her fiancé, George Sideris, with whom she built their family. A devoted mother, grandmother and woman of deep faith, she will be forever cherished by her family.
The family will receive condolences at the Côte-des-Neiges Funeral Home (4525, chemin de la Côte-des-Neiges, Montréal, QC H3V 1E7), on Wednesday, August 13, 2025. Viewing will be from 2 to 5 pm and 7 to 9 p.m.
Funeral service will take place on Thursday, August 14, 2025, at 11:30 am at St. George Greek Orthodox Cathedral, located at 2455, chemin de la Côte Sainte-Catherine, Montréal, QC H3T 1A8.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Alzheimer Society of Canada would be appreciated.
