Lula and her late husband were members of Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Canton for over 65 years. There she was a member of the Daughters of Penelope, past president of the Koraes Ladies Society, member of the Senior Citizens group and choir member for over 50 years in which she was honored by the Parish Choir for her service.

It is with great sadness that she has passed but, will now be with her "pal" of 70 plus years enjoying what God has promised to us all, eternal life. A special thank you to Dr. Baum, Bethany Nursing Home, and their dedicated staff.
