Dionysia Mihalopoulos

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Dionysia Mihalopoulos, who recently celebrated her 92nd birthday.

Dionysia was born August 6, 1933, in Ladiko Greece. Youngest of nine children her father sent her off to Australia to live with her brother. There she met a wonderful next-door neighbor that became her husband of 52 years and together they built a beautiful family. Dionysia and Efstathios moved to Chicago and worked in the hospitality industry and eventually settling down in Calgary where they owned Spartan Pizza and Bar.

Upon early retirement they would spend 2 months a year in Mazatlan, Mexico and summer months at their beachside house in Katakolo, Greece. 

A woman of great strength and resilience, Dionysia survived pneumonia during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dionysia is survived by son Niko Mihalopoulos; Daughter Theoni Mihalopoulos; and Granddaughter Sia Halford.

She has been predeceased by her loving husband, Efstathios.

A Funeral Service will be held at St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church (1 Tamarac Crescent SW, Calgary, AB) on Tuesday, August 19, 2025, at 10:00am, with the Rev. Thomas Sandberg, officiating. Followed by a Graveside Service at Queen's Park Cemetery and a Reception in the St. Demetrios Parish Hall.
