Flora Karais, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and cherished member of her community, passed away peacefully on November 2, 2025, at the age of 87, in her home in Baltimore, surrounded by her loving family. Born in Archangelos, Rhodes, Greece, Flora immigrated to America in 1966 with her family to begin a new chapter while preserving the traditions of her homeland. A talented seamstress and devoted mother, she raised three children with unwavering love and dedication. Flora was a cherished member of St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church and the Ladies Philoptochos Society, where she did charitable work. Her pride in her Rhodian heritage was evident in her involvement with the Rhodian Society of Maryland.
