On November 29th, 2024, at the age of 81, Eleni Peltekis passed away in her sleep.
Eleni came to America in 1974 with her husband Athanasios (Tommy) and two sons, Christos and Vasilios (Bill). Eleni started working as a seamstress, and after a few years, Eleni and her husband saved enough money to buy their lunch truck.
Eleni was an amazing, hard-working person, a wonderful wife and mother. She was an astounding “Yia Yia” grandmother. Her grandchildren will never forget her beautiful smile and the love she had for them and all of her family.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Athanasios “Tommy” Peltekis, and is survived by her two sons, Christos and his wife Tania and their four children, Katerina, Peter, Anastasia, and Dimitrios, and her son Vasilios “Bill” and his wife Cheryl and their five children, Eleni and her spouse Olivia, Nicoletta and her spouse Chad, Thomas, Alexandra, and Angela.
A viewing at 10 AM followed by a Funeral mass at 11 AM will be held at Evangelismos of Theotokos Greek Orthodox Church, located at 6501 Bustleton Ave., Phila., PA 19149, on Thursday, December 5th.
A Burial will follow at Lawnview Memorial Park, and a Luncheon will follow.
