She was formerly a resident of Johnson City, TN and moved to Knoxville in 2006. She is survived by her husband of 55 years, George Kaousias, her three adoring and devoted daughters, Deena Kaousias, Fay Kaousias Shrock and her husband Manny Shrock, Tammy Kaousias Steed and her husband Todd Steed, her brother and her sister-in-law, Pete and Thena Xanthos, of Grand Island, NY, her niece Chris Xanthos Boomhower of Tucson, AZ, and her nephew Thomas Xanthos of Boston, MA, and extended family both here and abroad. She and her husband were founding members of the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in the Tri-Cities area and the family is very grateful for the support of that parish and the Knoxville parish. We are also grateful for the excellent care given to her by the many doctors, nurses, therapists, and c.n.a.’s along the way.
