Patricia Tasoulas Blastos

Pat, the daughter of John and Mary (Vlahos) Tasoulas, was born in Keene, NH on August 23, 1933.

Pat attended Keene Schools, graduating from Keene High School in 1951, and then went on to attend Boston University.

She worked side by side with her former husband Michael E.J. Blastos at Mr. Pizza and Amherst (MA) on the Green and then in order to stay home and raise her daughters, she transitioned to bookkeeper for The Pub Restaurant and Caterers until the mid-1990’s.

Pat was an active member of the St. George Greek Orthodox Church community and Elpis Society in Keene, NH for most of her life.

She enjoyed, and proudly attended her daughters’ performances and sporting events all through their schooling. She also enjoyed watching and cheering on the Red Sox and Patriots, reading, knitting, sewing, creating pottery, working on puzzles, shopping, Greek dancing, and especially loved playing cards and bingo at Maplewood where she frequently won and was nicknamed ‘Queen of Bingo’! Pat was also known for her quick-wit and enjoyed a good laugh.

However most of all, Pat loved spending time visiting, and talking on the phone, with her family and friends. Her face would light up when seeing or talking with them. Family near and far meant everything to her.

Pat is survived by her daughters: Sophia M. (Blastos) Santerre and her husband Paul of York, Maine, Merri E. (Blastos) Howe and her husband Ken of Keene, NH, and Stephannie K.
