Gargas

Angie Gargas, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother; and devoted family member, passed away peacefully on April 28, 2026, at the age of 82. Angie was born on November 27, 1943, in Messini, Greece, and spent her life devoted to her family, her faith, and the people she loved. Angie was known for her warm heart, passionate strength, and unwavering love for her family, as well as for her meaningful contributions to her local church. She had a natural gift for making others feel welcomed and cared for-whether through her generous spirit, her attentive listening, or her thoughtful acts of kindness. Angie deeply valued her Greek Orthodox faith and cultural traditions and cherished the time she spent with those closest to her. A beloved widow of Nick Gargas, who passed away 18 years ago, Angie shared decades of marriage with him marked by love, devotion, and mutual respect. As a dedicated homemaker, Angie was a proud and loving mother to her children: Constantine Gargas, Athanasios Gargas and his wife Nicoletta Gargas, and Demetra Gargas and her husband Giannis Prokopis. Angie embraced her daughter-in-law and son-in-law as true members of her family and deeply valued the close relationships she built with each of them. Her greatest joy was found in her family, especially her grandchildren, Niko, Stamati, and Alexandra, who brought light and laughter into her life. Angie was a constant source of guidance, encouraging them to excel in education, to participate in the life of the church and always view the home as a place of warmth and welcome. Angie will be remembered for her generosity, and the deep care she showed to everyone fortunate enough to know her. She is also survived by her brother, John Barakaris of Greece, and his four children,Maria,Thanasi, Demetri and Aris as well as, many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and lifelong friends. Angie was predeceased by her brother Panagiotis Barakaris and her parents, Athanasios and Maria Barakaris.
