Georgia (Kazazi) Kefalas,93, of Wyomissing Hills, entered eternal rest on Monday, January 18, 2021. Born January 30, 1927 in the village of Filia, on the island of Lesvos, Greece, she was a cherished daughter of the late Antonis and Ariadni (Krideras) Kazazi. She was 1 of 6 children.
In 1956, she moved to the United States, residing in Reading until 1958, when she moved to New York City and married her 1st husband, George Karahalias. The couple shared 15 years of marriage together. George passed in 1973, and she returned to Reading with her children and settled in Wyomissing Hills. In 1978, she married her 2nd husband, George Kefalas. The couple shared 35 years of marriage together until his passing in 2014.
Deeply rooted in her Greek heritage, she was a faithful member of Sts. Constantine & Helen Greek Orthodox Church, Reading.
Georgia worked at Linette's candies, retiring in 1989. She was an avid gardener, and loved sharing her fruits and vegetables with friends and family. Georgia was also a very good cook and enjoyed feeding her loved ones. However, above all else she truly treasured spending time with her family.
Georgia's spirit will be carried on by her 2 sons Ted Karahalias, of Reading; George Karahalias, of Reading; and 2 sisters Maria Marmarou, of Reading and Vangelia Tsirakis , of Greece. Georgia also leaves behind several nieces and nephews to cherish her memory.
In addition to her parents, Georgia was greeted in heaven by her 1st husband George Karahalias; 2nd husband George Kefalas; daughter Denise Karahalias; and her 3 siblings Marianthi Kakalelis ; Evelpis Paraskis and Dimitri Kazazi.
