Koulouris, Penelope (Poppy) Penelope (Poppy) Koulouris 12/15/20 ~ 7/28/05 Poppy was born in Helper, Utah, December 15, 1920, to James Koulouris and Helen Papoulas Koulouris, immigrant parents. Poppy's father came to Utah in 1903, one of the first Greeks to arrive; her mother moved here in 1913. They were from the same village, Mavrolitharion (Black Rock), and married when they met in Price, Utah. When Poppy was 8 years of age, she and her older siblings, Nick, Mary and Pete returned to Greece with their parents in order to maintain contact with their culture. Poppy attended a private school, Paparoupa, in Lamia, Greece where she had to learn proper Greek and drop the "kitchen Greek" that she had been speaking. She continued her education at Prakteko Lyceum, a high school that was more on a college level. The curriculum was rigid, beginning with calisthenics in the early morning followed by religion, and academic courses, including Modern Greek and "Pure" Greek, Latin and French. School was held 6 1/2 days a week. Summers were spent in the beautiful and picturesque village of Mavrolitharion with her family. Those days were the happiest of Poppy's life. Even before World War II began, most of Poppy's family had returned to the United States. First her father and brother, Nick, followed by her sister Mary, and then her brother, Pete. As the war loomed in Europe, Poppy and her mother, who was not a U.S. citizen, found it difficult to leave Greece. It was only because of a heart-felt letter that Poppy's father wrote to President Roosevelt, imploring him to help the remaining Koulouris' to find safety in the U.S. that they were able to find passage here. The return letter that President Roosevelt sent to the family not only enabled them to leave Greece, but it also gave them the Captain's quarters on the ship. When Poppy and her mother returned to the states, they settled in Craig and Hayden, Colorado with their relatives, the Papoulas family. Poppy and her brother, Pete, went to a country school one summer to re-learn English and graduated from Hayden Union High School the following year, 1940. The Koulouris family then moved to Salt Lake City where they purchased a rooming house near the "U". Because of the old-country culture found at the Koulouris home, many foreign students who attended the "U" at that time found refuge renting rooms there. It was a little like home to them. During the late 1940's, the rooms were replaced by small businesses. Poppy oversaw and helped run, first the rooming house, and later the businesses. Poppy went to the "U", taking a variety of classes. Mrs. Koulouris ("Cutie"), although illiterate, believed in education and urged her children to continue their studies. When WWII began, Poppy worked at the Message Center in Kearns, Utah, where she was in charge of personnel of her section for three years. After the war, she worked at the "Salt Lake Tribune" in the comptroller's office for a year. While doing all of these things, Poppy, in her own words "did endless dishes because the Koulouris home was like Grand Central Station with people dropping in for a meal at any time of day or night. She also lived with and took care of her parents until their respective deaths. Poppy was a member of the Greek Orthodox Church in Salt Lake City and the Hellenic Cultural Association. She was instrumental in arranging speakers to lecture at the Museum of Fine Arts at the University of Utah at the time precious Russian Orthodox icons were on display there. She stayed very active in helping with oral history of Utah and was among those who started the history museum at the Greek Church. She was also deeply involved with the Greek Festival from its inception, working for more than 15 years as the "Coffee Lady" where she not only served coffee but also became an official greeter conversing with the many people who attended the festival. When she could no longer work as the "Coffee Lady," she spent many hours on the telephone arranging for volunteers to work at the festival. Survived by: nephew James Diamanti, his children Dionne and Derek of Price, Utah; niece, Kathy Diamanti, Salt Lake City; nephew, James G. Kaloris, Seattle, Washington. Sister-in-law Rose Kaloris Saridakis and Ruth Haworth; aunt, cousins, nephews and nieces of the Papoulas family of Salt Lake City and Colorado: Aunt and cousin, Leona K. Papoulas; E.H.

During summers in the early 60's I took my family to our ranch in Fruitland, Utah where my children learned to work and enjoy the outdoors. Through all the years, I've accumulated many stories. My family tells me that the stories get better with age. I loved learning and had a non-stop work ethic. I hope that my legacy could be described as one of hard, honest work. My children and their successes in life bring me my greatest joy. For a time, I have to leave behind my eternal sweetheart, Helen Colledge Lindstrom. She is my greatest friend, our romance never faded. I also have six children I'm proud of: Jeff (Lynne), Larry (Deanne), Cindy (Greg Harris), Grant (Keri), Gordon (Becky) and Craig (Anita).
