Flora Koukouras

WARREN – Flora Koukouras, age 86, entered into eternal rest Friday, November 14, 2025 at Gillette Nursing Home. She was born October 12, 1939 in Rhodes, Greece, the daughter of Filimona and Smaragda (Ganotakis) Lirantzis, coming to the United States in the fall of 1970.
A warm-hearted and lovely lady, Flora was a member of St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church. She was well-known as the seamstress at Evaline's who devoted decades to making the alterations on the wedding dresses. When at home, her passion for sewing never stopped, along with her time in her yard, gardening. Her greatest pleasure came from her time with her four precious grandchildren.
Precious memories of Flora live on with her two daughters, Smaragda "Sam" Koukouras Callow of Warren and Penny Koukouras Vardavas of Howland; four grandchildren: Alexis Flora Vardavas, Kristen Rene Vardavas, Jaclyn Callow, and Dimitri Callow; and two sisters, Penny Lirantzis Lambis (Gust) of Warren and Mary Lirantzis Coliadis of Howland.
Preceding her in death are her parents; her beloved husband of fifty-four years, Phillip Koukouras, whom she married January 12, 1964 and who passed April 26, 2018; her brother, John Lirantzis; and her brother-in-law, Steve Coliadis.
Calling hours are 10:00 to 11:00 am Wednesday November 19, 2025 at St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church, 429 High Street N.E., Warren, Ohio 44481, where services will begin at 11:00 am Wednesday. All who knew and loved Flora are welcome to attend and celebrate her remarkable life.
Interment will follow at Oakwood Cemetery.
