Sophia Maragoudakis Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 12, 2025.
Sophia Maragoudakis, née Psitos, age 80, of Sunnyside, Queens, fell asleep in the Lord on July 11, 2025. Sophia was the beloved wife of Michael Maragoudakis, for 49 years. She was the devoted mother of Tina and George Tzortzatos, Michael and Katerina Maragoudakis, Erin and Nicholas Papakostopoulos, and John and Stefani Maragoudakis. She was the cherished grandmother of John and Christopher Maragoudakis, Sophia, Konstantinos, Eva, and Katerina Papakostopoulos, and of Michael and Anna Maragoudakis. Sophia's kindness, strength, and warm heart shaped the lives of all who knew her, from her time teaching at Bryant High School to working at Sunnyside Florist with her grandparents John and Mary Coles (Demetrocalis), parents John and Irene Psitos, and brother Bill Psitos. She will be remembered as someone who gave all of herself to everyone around her and never asked for anything in return.

Visitation will be held on Monday, July 14, 2025, from 3:00 PM - 8:00 PM at Edward D. Lynch Funeral Home (43-07 Queens Boulevard, Sunnyside, NY 11104).

Sophia, I liked you the minute I met you so many years ago. I knew right away that you were a special person, and that my cousin was very fortunate to have you in his life. Rest in peace

You welcomed your childrens' friends into your house as if we were your own. There was always room at your table and your door was always open. I am beyond grateful for a lifetime of kindness and generosity. I love you Sophia. Rest in peace.
