Efthalea Tsimpinos 1934-2024

Efthalea was married for 56 years to her beloved husband, Gus M. Tsimpinos, who predeceased her Jan. 31, 2016. Together, they built a life centered on family, faith and charity.

She is survived by her daughter, JoAnne (John Radu) of North Carolina and son, Victor Tsimpinos of Pennsylvania; a brother, Michael (Ploumi) Karakatsanis and sister-in-law, Argyro Karakatsanis, all of Chios, Greece.

She served as president of the Philoptochos Society and the senior citizens group dedicating much of her life to supporting the church and charitable endeavors.
