Christine (Chiklis) Stamas

Beloved mother, grandmother and friend


Christine (Chiklis) Stamas, 87, of Tyngsboro passed into eternity on Wednesday evening after a brief illness. Christine was a longtime resident of Lowell, well-known and loved by many.

She was the devoted wife to the love of her life, the late Harry Stamas, to whom she was married for over 61 years.

Christine was predeceased by her parents, Christy and Sophie (Koulias) Chiklis of Lowell, who she cared for selflessly for many years.

A graduate of Lowell High School in 1953, she worked for the Union National Bank. After her marriage to Harry, she dedicated herself to raising her children for twenty years. She then worked for the Area Health Education Center and the College of Music at the University of Lowell, where she enjoyed putting her secretarial skills to good use.

Above all, she was a faithful Christian woman who lived for her husband, children, grandchildren, and her church family. Throughout her lifetime, she served on many charitable committees and participated in the parish’s life to the fullest.

Her last thirty years were spent with many friends and family, helping to raise and nurture her five grandchildren, singing in the Transfiguration Church choir, and caring for Harry, who passed away in 2021 after a long illness. Christine was truly loved by all who knew her, and she will be greatly missed. Her legacy is that she leaves behind a beautiful example of faith, joy, love, kindness, generosity, and goodness in every way.

She is survived by her three children, Louis Stamas of Tyngsborough, Rev. Christopher Stamas and his wife, Penny, of Holden, and Sandra Stamas Gulezian and her husband, Marc, of Tyngsboro. She also leaves behind the greatest joys of her life, her grandchildren: Stephanie, Olivia, and Zachary Gulezian as well as Christiana and Elaina Stamas.  She maintained a very active social life and she leaves behind many friends and relatives who will miss her deeply.

In addition to her husband and her parents, Christine was predeceased by her beloved brothers, Charles and Nicholas Chiklis, as well as many relatives in the Lowell area.

Friends may call at the O’DONNELL FUNERAL HOME 276 PAWTUCKET ST. in LOWELL on Monday February 5, 2024, from 4 to 7 pm. Funeral Services will take place at the Transfiguration Greek Orthodox Church in Lowell, on Tuesday February 6, at 10:00 am.
