Photine Vlahakis Skandalis of Boynton Beach FL and Dracut, MA, age 100, passed away on April 13, 2019. Photine was born in Dracut, MA on September 21, 1918 and grew up on the family farm at Phineas Street, Dracut. Wife of the (late) Arthur G. Skandalis for 68 years, daughter of John and Vassiliki Vlahakis and predeceased by her siblings Nicholas, Louis, Peter, and Angeliki Vlahakis Mpelkas. Mother of Portia Kornilakis (the late Emmanuel Kornilakis), John Skandalis (Andrea Skandalis), Bette Skandalis (Jo Seidler), and George Skandalis (Carol Bolter).

Best great-grandmother (yia-yia-yia) ever to Halee Skandalis, KC & Jaymi Springer, Leah, Martin, and Ismini Ross, and Lazarus Rodriguez Kornilakis. Over half of Photine's 100 years were spent expertly preparing food, whether it was in the Dracut public school system managing scores of cafeteria staff and school lunch programs, the church kitchen overseeing volunteers, or in her own home, preparing potfuls of dolmathes and other delights for her friends and family. If you attended the Transfiguration Greek Orthodox Church Greek Festivals over the years, you likely enjoyed one of the thousands of Greek dishes that came out of the kitchen under her direction.
