Katherine "Nina" Koutsouliou, age 83, of White Oak, died at home on July 23, 2025 with family by her side. Born February 28, 1942, in Rhodes, Greece. She was the daughter of the late Theodoris and Irene Drakou and the wife of George Koutsouliou for 63 years.
Katherine devoted over 30 years of her life working at Giant Eagle in White Oak, spending most of those years at the bakery.
She also had a passion for cooking and baking delightful Greek dishes, which she took great joy in preparing for family gatherings and celebrations. Her culinary skills not only filled the bellies of those she loved but also warmed their hearts, as she cherished every moment spent in the kitchen.
A proud member of the Annunciation of the Theotokos Greek Orthodox Church, Katherine's faith was an integral part of her life. This community played a significant role in her journey, providing a space of comfort and connection where she shared her love for her heritage. Nina's family was her greatest treasure. She took immense joy in caring for her children and grandchildren, pouring her love into their lives and creating indelible memories that will be cherished forever. She was a selfless person putting the needs of others above her own.
She is survived by children, John Koutsouliou, Ted Koutsouliou, and Irene (Chris) Crawford; grandchildren, Athena (Ryan Monier) and Teddy Koutsouliou; sister, Fotula Paradise, and many nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents, she was also preceded in death by a sister, Georgia Koskinas.
