Steven A. Koules
1929 - 2019 - Lovingly Remembered
Steven A. “Steve” Koules, 89, of North Chelmsford, Massachusetts formerly of Fitchburg, Massachusetts, passed away peacefully at his home on January 8, 2019.
Born in Fitchburg, Massachusetts on March 8, 1929, the only son of the late Antoneos Koules and Helen (Chiamis) Koules, Steve graduated from Fitchburg High School in 1947. He received a Bachelor of Science degree in 1952 from Hampden College of Pharmacy (now part of Massachusetts College of Pharmacy).
In 1960 Steve became owner and operator of Senay Pharmacy, the “corner drugstore” on Bemis Road in Fitchburg. Senay Pharmacy remained a fixture in the neighborhood until Steve sold the business in 1994. He continued to work part-time as a pharmacist until the age of 85.
A loving husband, father and grandfather, Steve found joy in spending time with his family and in doing for others. Generous in nature, kind and soft-spoken, he is remembered fondly and will be greatly missed. Steve was a life-long member of the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Fitchburg and, since 1998, a member of the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Lowell, Massachusetts.
