Mary

Rambias

RAMBIAS, Mary, nee (Petrakis) on April 4, 2015, of North Bergen, NJ, age 88. Marigoula was born on June 11, 1926 on the island of Kimolos in the Kiklades of Greece. In 1948, she set sail for the land of skyscrapers with her newlywed husband Manoli. They lived in Jersey City, NJ with two plates, two cups, and two forks from the Five and Dime and they began their life. From their meager beginnings, they built a lovely world for themselves filled with faith, love, and compassion for others. Even though Marigoula did not have a family here, she created a new family who now mourns her death but rejoices in the love and wisdom she imparted. She will be sorely missed but will live in the hearts of those she touched. Marigoula was a Parishioner, Choir Member, and member of the Philoptochos Society of the Ascension Greek Orthodox Church, Fairview, NJ. Beloved wife to the late Emanuel (1973). Devoted mother to Katherine DeKranis and Niki Rambias. Loving sister to Chrisostomos Petrakis and Zambeta Marketos. Adored grandmother to Mariel and Dean Peter DeKranis. Funeral from the A.K.

Interment to follow at Fairview Cemetery, Fairview, NJ. Visiting hours Monday 4:30 pm - 9:00 pm.
