Evangeline Manolopoulos
Of Lowell
A caring mother and grandmother has passed on. Evangeline “Vangie” Manolopoulos, 101, of Lowell, MA, died peacefully and in grace surrounded by her loving family.
She was the widow of Stephen Manolopoulos, sharing a beautiful life together before his death in 1997.

A graduate of Lowell High School with the class of 1938, she received her Associate Degree from Lowell Commercial College. Vangie held positions of Administrative Secretary at Cbs-hytron, and Executive Secretary at Raytheon Headquarters in Bedford, MA.

Her joyful personality and laughter will be dearly missed.
