In Loving Memory
We are saddened to share that our beloved mother passed away peacefully at home on Monday, July 8th. Born in 1942 in the countryside of southern Sweden, she was the daughter of a Swedish farmer and the eldest of three sisters. After serving in the Swedish military, she set out to see the world—first London, then Los Angeles, and finally New York, where she met her husband and raised her children.
She is survived by her son, Peter Orphanos, and his wife, Nicole Orphanos; her grandchildren, Katherine and Peter Orphanos, all of New York; and her daughter, Anne Marie.
She lived with quiet strength, deep patience, and an unwavering love for her family. After the passing of her husband four years ago, she and her son grew even closer, sharing time and memories that will always be cherished. She will be remembered for her resilience, warmth, and the love she gave to all who knew her.
A wake will be held Tuesday, July 16th from 6 to 8 p.m. at John Krtil Funeral Home, 70th Street and 1st Avenue. Per her wishes, there will be no formal service.
