Georgia Dascoulias 1928-2024

Georgia was born Nov. 12, 1928, in Megalopolis, Arcadia, Greece, the eldest daughter of six children to George and Vasiliki Papadopoulos Gianopoulos Johnson. She came to the United States in 1946, with her family and settled in her well-loved new hometown of Ligonier, Pa.

Georgia married her beloved husband, George J. Dascoulias, on Jan. 27, 1952, and they celebrated nearly 55 happy years of marriage until his passing on Jan. 23, 2007.

Georgia was a proud member of St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church and for more than 72 years, the Ladies Philoptochos Society at the church. She also was a member of the Senior Citizens Club, the Yasou Club, the Lunch Bunch and GAPA. Georgia was a woman of great faith. She loved God with all her heart and served her church in many ways. She was devoted to her family and friends and enjoyed every minute she got to spend with them.

She will be greatly missed by her daughter, Chryse Dascoulias, with whom she made her home; a son, George (Joanne) Dascoulias and her beloved granddaughter, Natalie, whom she called the heart of her heart; two sisters, Sophia Zozos and Becky (Matt) Hnaras; brother-in-law, Emmanuel Amorgianos; and many loving nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

Besides her parents and husband, Georgia was preceded in death by her sisters, Toula (Nick) Ganavozos, Pota (Aris) Seitanakis and Aphrodite Amorgianos, and brother-in-law, Gus Zozos.
