Irene Lemonias (Kefalas) 93 of Dennis, beloved Aunt, died at her home Wednesday October 21, 2020.

She was the wife of the late Konstantinos “Charles” P. Lemonias who died in 2001.

Born and raised in Cambridge, Irene was the daughter of the late John and Anastasia (Vlahakis) Kefalas.

Irene and her husband, Charles settled on Cape Cod not long after building their home in Dennis in the 1970’s.

She worked for many years as a bookkeeper for the Savogran Company in Norwood, where she enjoyed working with a tight group of workers.

Though she had no children of her own, Irene had many nieces and nephews, and many others that called her Auntie Irene.

Irene knew how to have fun, was a patient and empathetic teacher, and always made you feel that you were loved. For all who knew her, her house became the first stop on everyone’s weekend itinerary. She served up the best blueberry muffins, butteriest French toast, and she had the sharpest one-liners. Her generosity and kindness knew no bounds. She was greatly loved and will be missed by the many lives she touched, and she hated ONIONS.

As part of a large Greek family, Irene is survived by a sister, Mary Zevitas of Watertown; a niece, Cynthia Harrington; her nephews, Stephen, Donald and John Weagle, all of Cape Cod, and Peter, Zachary, Gregory and Chris Zevitas, all of Watertown; and grand nieces and nephews, Travis, Addie, Lily, and Will Harrington, and Alessandra and Demos Zevitas. In addition to her husband and parents, Irene was predeceased by her bother, Stephen Kefalas, and her sister, Bertha Weagle.

Funeral services will be private.

As an expression of sympathy, memorial donations may be made to the Perkins School for the Blind, 174 North Beacon St., Watertown, MA 02472.
