Elizabeth Karipides

Elizabeth Karipides, 70, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her family on Monday, January 3, 2022. She was born in Greece on April 26, 1951 to the late Stelios and Sophia Polyhronas Aptalides.

Elizabeth was a strong and faithful woman. She loved spending time in the church helping in any way she could, she travelled to many places and most recently her trip to the holy lands in Jerusalem. Her greatest joy were her grandchildren, and nothing made her happier than being surrounded by all ten of them and her own children during the most recent holidays. She loved good company, shopping and laying in the sun at the beach. She made so many people laugh with her stories and smile with her presence. She will be missed immensely by so many.

Elizabeth is survived by her devoted husband of 51 years, John Karipides of Greenwich, her loving children, Lazaros Karipides and his wife Stacey of Stamford, Stavros Karipides and his wife Debbie of Harrison, NY, Sophia Karipides and her fiance’, Rafael Figueroa of Greenwich, and her former husband, George Zoumboulis of Stamford and Maria Katsaros and her husband Greg of Rye Neck, NY, as well as her grandchildren, Elle, Yanna, Elisabeth,
