Zaharoula "Lula" Valissarakos

Above all, she was a wife & mother. She devoted her heart & soul to her one child, wrapping a lifetime of her love. guidance & sacrifice around him. Their bond was unbreakable. Through example, she taught what it meant to care deeply, to endure patiently & love without condition.

Lula's Krinis-Mylonas heritage lived in her warmth, generosity & sense of hospitality.

Lula understood the importance of honoring those who came before her, carrying her family's history with pride and passed it forward through her values & presence.

Lula was strong yet gentle, humble yet wise and knew when to speak & when silence was enough. Her life reminds one that greatness is not measured in how much noise we make, but how deeply we touch the lives of others.

Lula was a natural-beautiful and charismatic with a sense of exacting detail & style.

She was always her authentic self and worked tirelessly for her immediate family, friends, & her church, leaving a stamp of angelic authority. Wherever she went she brought her faith with her beautiful smile.

We grieve with gratitude for all the years we had and the lessons Lula taught without a classroom, her legacy of love she leaves behind does not end.

Lula lived selflessly & loved deeply and will always be remembered.

May her memory be eternal.

God be with you.
