Stavroula Kontogiannis Obituary

Kontogiannis - Stavroula, of Garden City, NY, loving mother, doting grandmother, and an active member of her community, passed away on Sept. 28, 2023, at the age of 74, in Mineola, NY, after bravely battling a brain aneurysm. Stavroula, affectionately known as "Voula" or "Stevie" to her friends and loved ones, was born on March 11, 1949, in St. Louis, MO, to Mary and George Caporal. She is survived by her sons, George, Peter, and John Kontogiannis, and their wives, Ceyda, Suzana, and

Alice Kontogiannis. Voula leaves behind a legacy of love through her cherished grandchildren, Madelyn, Constance, and Sophia Kontogiannis, who brought immeasurable joy to her life. Voula will be remembered for her kind and generous spirit, and her tireless dedication to her loved ones. Her absence leaves a void that can never be filled, but her memory will forever shine brightly in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing her. Viewings will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 4, at Fairchild Sons Funeral Chapel in Manhasset, NY from 2-4pm and 7-9pm. A funeral service to honor Voula's life will be held at the Archangel Michael Greek Orthodox Church on Thursday, Oct. 5 at 9am. A burial will follow at Maple Grove Cemetery in Kew Gardens, Queens. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations in her name to the Archangel Michael Greek Orthodox Church, The INN in Hempstead, NY or a charity of your choice. May her memory be eternal!
