Delia Sarah Kepouros

Delia Sarah Kepouros, age 81, of Cape Coral, Florida, passed away peacefully on July 13, 2026. She was born on December 16, 1944, in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

Dee met James Kepouros almost 40 years ago and the romance blossomed immediately. When Jim passed away four-and-a-half years ago, her broken heart never mended. She is reunited with her husband Jim in heaven.

Whether it was gardening, decorating, computer things, and cooking phenomenal meals, she had a knack for countless areas.

She was loved by many nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased in death by her brothers Daniel Rivers (Patricia Rivers), and James Rivers (Gale Rivers).

She was president of the National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame in Chicago, Illinois, raising funds for young people's education and many charities.
