Those who leave Theodora Matsakis<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Manolis Cassotis<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On November 8, 2023, at the \u201cyoung\u201d age of almost 99, Theodora Nicholas Matsakis, daughter of Elias and Aphrodite Papageorge, left for her last journey. Her parents were among the pioneer Karpathian immigrants to America, and she was one of the first Karpathians born in America. She was also among the first American-born Greeks to devote herself to arts and sciences. From St. Louis University she received a Bachelor of Fine Arts and later, from the same university, a master\u2019s in psychology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the age of 20, at a \u039aarpathian ball at the Saint John\u2019s hotel in Brooklyn, she met Captain Nikos Dimitriou Matsakis, who was impressed by her beauty and dancing talent. In the following year, 1945, they joined their lives that lasted 64 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nicholas Matsakis was also one of the first Karpathians born in America, and one of the first American-born Greeks who devoted himself to sciences. He studied dentistry and in World War II he served in the Dental Corps of the American army reaching the rank of major. After their marriage they settled in St Louis MO where he opened and maintained a dental practice for many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From their marriage they had three children who followed highly successful careers, the psychologist and writer Aphrodite, the astrophysicist Dimitris, and the lawyer Elias. They gave them seven grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren. Theodora devoted herself to raising the children, taking them every Sunday to church and the Greek school and to many other children\u2019s events and activities. But she didn\u2019t neglect her musical talent. She participated in St. Louis Philharmonic Orchestra for 64 years and gave many solo violin performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, she supported her husband\u2019s lifelong dedication as president of the organization \u201cJustice for Cyprus\u201d and as honorary consul of the Republic of Cyprus. She typed and edited correspondence for political leaders and newspapers and hosted dozens of meetings at their home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
