CONSTANCE DIMOU

1929 - 2021

DIMOU, Constance Constance Apostoles Dimou Constance Apostoles Dimou, 92, passed away on Monday, August 9, 2021. Connie was born on April 28, 1929 and spent her childhood and young adult life in Belmont, MA. A graduate of Colby-Sawyer College, she married Loucas S. Dimou on February 15,1953 and was married for 61 years before his passing. Spending their early years in Weston, MA where they had their 4 children, the family then lived in Memphis, TN from 1963 - 1985. In Memphis, Connie was a member of St. George's Episcopal Church, serving as a chairperson for the Altar Guild and the Antique Arcade. She was also a devoted member of Le Bonheur Children's Hospital League. They moved back north to Barnstable, MA to be near Connie's parents in their older years. She spent her time serving on the Altar Guild at St. Mary's Episcopal Church and tending to her gorgeous vegetable and perennial gardens. Already an avid needlepointer, she also gained enormous satisfaction mastering the process of weaving Nantucket Lightship Baskets, which tied together her love for New England and her artistic talents. Their last move was to Savannah, GA in 1991 to enjoy warmer weather. Connie was a member of St. Peter's Episcopal Church, where she served as Altar Guild Chair, then on the Vestry, and finally on the search committee for the new Vicar. She was instrumental in the founding of the Skidaway Island Antique Show in 1999, whose proceeds supported several children's charities in Savannah for many years. As all arts brought great joy to her, Connie also served on the Telfair Academy Guild and was a volunteer at the Jepson Center. Connie is survived by her 4 children: Corinne Welsh (Scott) of CT, Stacy Dimou of ME (recently moved to Savannah, GA), Joan Connelly (Mike) of Savannah, GA, and Elizabeth Mary-Vallée of France; 7 grandchildren: Christina (Qahir) Madhany, Leigh Welsh, Henry Welsh, Lucas Howerter, Sarah Howerter, Come Mary-Vallée, and Soléne Mary-Vallée; 2 great-grandchildren and 5 step-great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband, Loucas "Luke," her parents, John George Apostoles and Bessie Colivas Apostoles, and a sister, Leonora "Lee" Kentros.
