Sandra Panagouleas Obituary

PANAGOULEAS, Sandra

Age 74, of Troy, passed away Thursday, March 25, 2021. Sandy was born January 12, 1947, in Huntington, IN. Daughter of Joseph (bonus mother, Edwina) and Norma Jean.

She is survived by her son, Bill (Evelyn) Panagouleas of Sugar Grove, IL; two daughters, Nikki Panagouleas and Christina (Kyle) Panagouleas Stephens, both of Troy; 3 grandsons, Andy Jr. & Michael Panagouleas and Evan Stephens; as well as granddaughter, Alex Stephens (her namesake); two sisters, Janet (Scott) Harrison and Marilyn (Tony) Bolinger; special cousin, Coy Hagan; several other cousins, nieces & nephews; close family friends, Teresa & Neil Parks, Tina & Joe Good (and children); special friends & neighbors the Tom Skiles family.

Sandy was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 39 years, Andy; daughter, Maria; and her parents.

She was a life-long member of the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church and was employed with Good Samaritan Hospital for many years. She was a loving mother and terrific Yiayia (Grandmother). She had a sense of humor like no other. Never found with a hair out of place, make-up just so and the perfect color of nail polish and lipstick. A true lover of "trashy" jewelry. One of her last requests was for everyone to wear "trashy" jewelry to her funeral.

Due to COVID, the family will have a private service at the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church with Father Joseph Gingrich officiating (and we will all be wearing our "trashy" jewelry). Interment Woodland Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in her honor to the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church. Funeral arrangements entrusted to Marker & Heller Funeral Homes.

“Aunt” Sandy was one of a kind. I was always confused how we were related when i was a kid... she’s not my aunt, not my cousin, her mom isn’t her mom?! but really is?! What?!? But i knew one thing. She was family. And even though i didn’t know her well and maybe saw her once every few years i knew without a doubt when I saw her she was happy to see me! I didn’t know why, but she let me know! She made me feel special just for being me because of who she was. She was the special one. Some people just have that inner light and joy that makes everyone around them happier and feel just a bit better. Aunt Sandy was one of those people.
I’m sure she’s up there causing trouble already. They are lucky to have her. I know we all were.
Love you, Sandy xoxo

Its hard to compose a comment for you, a lady who I met once, but was loved from moment we were introduced! I am incredibly sorry we didn't have more time as a family to connect and know that Skip has loved you all his life! Thank you for being such a loving and caring person to all you have touched on earth. We will never be the same without you, but are better because we knew you! May God keep the family wrapped in his arms as we mourn and find peace.
