Eugenia P. Poulos

Eugenia P. Poulos, 69, passed away on April 17, 2021, in Atlanta, GA. Eugenia was born in Greece to Ioannis and Vasiliki Vlachou. She had fond memories of growing up in the villages of Vourvoura and Sellasia which started her love of nature. She married Pete A. Poulos (Poulokefalos) in 1971 and immigrated to Atlanta, GA.

Eugenia was a solid foundation for her family. As a dedicated spouse and mother, she always encouraged her children to strive for their highest achievements. She developed lifelong friendships with many who helped her settle into Atlanta, in return supporting extended family and other immigrants, as they too settled into Atlanta and beyond.

As a self-made entrepreneur, Eugenia and her husband owned several restaurants before she turned her love of sewing into a successful fabric arts business. Eugenia’s strong spirit was best expressed by sharing her vision and wisdom, along with encouraging support toward excellence of family and friends or anyone who needed direction. She felt lifelong learning, financial planning, and education were keys to success. Her open home and arms were always welcoming and her interest in gardening, knitting and sewing were labors of love that provided ongoing gifts to those around her. She always enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, whether in a garden, on the dance floor, in church, or outdoors.

In honor of Eugenia, she would most definitely appreciate the planting of anything in your garden, window box or any area where a plant could thrive, no matter the size, just as she did in her life.

Eugenia was preceded in death by her husband, Pete A. Poulos, and her parents. She is survived by her children (Andrew, Sylvia, Danae), her siblings in Greece (Evanthia, Georgia, and Panagiota) and extended family.
