Grace Yanakopoulos Gramatoula “Grace” (Floudaras) Yanakopoulos of Malden, died Monday, June 22, 2009 at the Twin Oaks Nursing Home in Danvers after a brief stay. She was born in Manchester, NH and was the daughter of the late Louis and Helen (Pappas) Floudaras. At an early age, Grace and her family moved from Manchester to Boston. She was raised and educated in the Boston school system. After high school, Grace began to work for the Pilgrim Trust Bank in Boston. After working for the bank for many years, Grace married her sweetheart, George Yanakopoulos on November 7, 1954 at the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of New England in Boston. George and Grace settled in Malden to begin their family. George and Grace were married for over 50 years until George’s passing in December of 2004. When her children were older, Grace went to work for the Malden Schools as a cafeteria aide at the Linden School. She worked for the city for over ten years until finally deciding to retire in the early 1970’s. Grace was a past member of both the Cathedral Ladies Philoptochos Society in Boston as well as the St. Josephs Women’s Club in Malden. While known as a gracious hostess and famous for many dishes (especially her coffee cake), Grace will always be remembered as a wonderful mother, wife, sister, and a woman full of Grace. Grace is survived by her children, Louis Yanakopoulos and his wife, Joan of Malden, and Evelyn Festa of Malden, her siblings, Lena F. Hollis of Melrose and James Floudaras of Belmont as well as many nieces and nephews. In addition to her husband and parents, Grace was preceded in death by her sister, Kelly Kyriakou, and her brothers, George, John, and Alex Floudaras. A funeral service will be held in the Weir-MacCuish Golden Rule Funeral Home, 144 Salem Street, Malden on Thursday, June 25, 2009 at 10 AM. Fr. Cleopas Strongylis of the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of New England will be presiding. Burial will immediately follow in the Puritan Lawn Memorial Park, Peabody. Visitation will be held in the funeral home on Wednesday, June 24, 2009 from 4 to 8 PM. Contributions in Grace’s memory may be made to All Care Hospice, 16 City Hall Square, Lynn, MA 01901.
