October 18, 1937 - April 22, 2023

Our beloved Baba Lula passed away peacefully on April 22, 2023 at the age of 85 years.

Lula was a firecracker, born in Piraeus, Greece October 18th, 1937.

With her contagious and rowdy laugh, Lula was “Ma" to everyone who was lucky enough to know her, even if they were actually her senior.

Lula immigrated to Canada in the late 1950s, sponsored by her Uncle Gus Diamond, who owned the Royal Grill restaurant in downtown Port Hope, Ontario.

It was while waitressing at the Royal Grill that Lula met the man of her dreams, Milutin “Nick" Nikolic, who vowed to marry her after just a couple of encounters.

Lula and Nick were married in 1960 and had 4 children, Alexander (Kim), Atanasy (Wendy, who was Lula's best friend for life and extraordinary caregiver), Peter (Saveria), and Katarina Charette (David).

Lula enjoyed and adored her 5 grandchildren, Nicholas, Emma, Lucas, Alyssa, and Emily. Dementia robbed Lula of her zest for life in her later years, but she knew when to laugh, to her final days.

The richness and vastness of the memories and experiences she leaves behind will continue to be her most treasured gifts to us all. Special thanks to the staff of Extendicare Oshawa, especially her PSWs and nursing staff on Unit 2. Lula’s family is grateful for the especially tender and personalized love and care that Maria, Alrolyn, Alisha, Patty and Sharyn provided at Extendicare.

In his spare time if Zach wasn’t at the gym working out because he took a lot of pride in his health and physical fitness or outdoors, you would find him gaming online with friends, or watching Anime geeking out! Zach also loved music and had quite the eclectic taste.

He would sing & dance around to music of any genre! Zach was one of a kind. He will be remembered for his good-natured personality, his ability to make everyone laugh, and of course his own ridiculously infectious laugh!

Zach valued and loved his family and friends very much.

He will be forever remembered by his mother Debbie, father Steve, big sister Ashley, big brother Tristan and little sister Samantha, his Irish twin.

Zachary will also be fondly remembered by his nephew Denzel, lifelong friends Steven & Matt as well as his grandparents, many aunts & uncles, cousins and members of extended family. Zach will be sadly missed by KeKe his beloved rottweiler.

She was his shadow, following him wherever he went and laid by his side until his very last day. Zach was very much loved and left us much too soon.

We will miss him profoundly. Our family is sincerely grateful to everyone who have given us support and comfort during this time of loss
