Ifigenia Sgouros

Ifigenia “Jean” Sgouros passed away peacefully on March 20, 2018 in Scottsdale, Arizona at the age of 80. She was born in Megalopolis, Greece in 1937, immigrated to the United States in 1952 and joined in marriage to John Sgouros in 1965 in Chicago. She loved being surrounded by her family and helped raise her three grandchildren. Through her life she worked within local school systems and was devoted to starting and helping multiple Greek Orthodox Churches. Jean was very active in the Greek Orthodox community, was a member of St. Katherine’s Philoptochos organization and loved to bake and did so not only for her family but for many years at various local Greek Festivals. She also loved chanting during vesper services as one of her most favorite chants was the “”Άσπιλε” to the Theotokos during Great Lent. She spent her free time reading her Bible and theological books, taking long walks, working out at the gym, attending her grandchildren’s activities and watching “Wheel of Fortune” and “Jeopardy” on a daily basis. She is survived by her husband John Sgouros, her son George Sgouros (Traci), her three grandchildren, Jonathan, Zoe and Gianna, her brother John Arvanetes (Barbara), sister Vasiliki Kotsogiannis, sister Nicki Papanikolaou (Nicholas) and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her Father, Demetrios; Mother, Amalia; Twin Sister, Katina Arvanetes and Sister, Ioanna Stavrianos.
