Malamati Kitsis

1929 - 2024

Malamati (Moutsioulis) Kitsis, 94, of Manchester, NH, died January 9, 2024, at her home, surrounded by her loving family and those who loved and adored her most, after a period of declining health.

Born in Fourka, Greece on April 10, 1929, she was the daughter of Nikolaos and Agoru (Boulogiane) Moutsioulis. She resided in Greece, before immigrating to Manchester in 1976.

Devoted to her faith, she was a member of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary Greek Orthodox Church. She was a member of the Daughters of Fourka, the Philoptochos Ladies Society, and the Anagennesis Ladies Society.

Malamati reigned as the matriarch of a small Greek-American family and was the source of great wisdom, love, advice, and kindness. She was an extraordinary cook who was known for her incredible Greek cuisine. Malamati never let anyone leave her home hungry or cold. A truly loving and selfless person, she instinctively put her loved ones before herself. She was a patient and devoted wife, a remarkable mother and grandmother, and cherished friend. Malamati will always be loved and remembered for her servant heart as well as her endless dedication to her family. She is no longer suffering or in pain. Her spirit will remain in us, with us, and now she is at peace with God. She is flying high with her beloved son, Giorgios. 

May Her Memory Be Eternal.
