Prebytera Olympia D. Simeonidis

Presbytera Olympia D. Simeonidis née Pappas

Beloved wife of Reverend Father Demetrios Simeonidis, mother to Reverend Father Constantine Simeonidis (Presbytera Eleni) of Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, Orlando, FL; Louis Simeonidis, New York, NY; and Carrie Klepzig, Pittsburgh, PA. Adoring grandmother to Aikaterini, Dimitri, and Julianna. In addition to her husband, children, and grandchildren, Presbytera is survived by her brother Steve Pappas (Kim); her brother Stanley Pappas (Victoria); her sister Vasiliki Dadiotis; her sister Kula Tsapakis (Manoli); many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Presbytera was preceded in death by her parents, Deno and Virginia Pappas; brothers, John Pappas and Deno Pappas, Jr.; sister, Theodora Pappas; and nephew, Dr. Constantine Pappas.

Prebytera added color and vibrancy wherever she went - she especially loved her hats and always had one on at church. As a flight attendant for Delta Airlines, she combined her love of people with her love of travel. Known for her great sense of humor, she enjoyed entertaining and making everyone around her laugh. She was an extremely kind and generous woman who made people feel loved, and her presence will be sorely missed by all who knew her.
