1928 - 2018

September 11, 1928 - March 28, 2018 Akrevoe Kondopria Emmanouilides passed away at her home in Rolling Hills Estates on March 28, 2018, with family by her side. Born in Philadelphia on September 11, 1928 to Greek immigrant parents, she graduated as valedictorian from high school at age 16 and shortly thereafter served as a secretary on the ENIAC project-the first electronic computer. After meeting her husband, George, she spent the majority of her life in Southern California where she dedicated herself to family, friends, and the Hellenic-American community. Akrevoe served as the first woman Parish Council President of St. Katherine Greek Orthodox Church and shared her love of food, culture, books and the arts with all. She was loved for her warm, welcoming, curious and generous spirit and was a compassionate, open-hearted listener to anyone's story. Everyone she met was a friend. She was preceded in death by her husband, George, and is survived by her children, Nicholas, Elizabeth, Christopher, Martha, and Sophia, and her granddaughters Anastasia, Nika, Chloe and Isabella. Funeral services will be held on Monday, April 2, 1:00 p.m. at St. Katherine Greek Orthodox Church, Redondo Beach.
