Helen B. Koules

Loving mother and grandmother;

Helen B.(Bilionis) Koules, 92, of North Chelmsford, formerly of Fitchburg, MA, passed away peacefully on January 20, 2022 surrounded by her loving family.

She was the beloved wife, for 64 years, of Steven A. Koules, who died in 2019.

Born on June 19, 1929 in Fitchburg, MA, Helen was the daughter of the late Louis and Bessie (Mouroutsos) Bilionis. A 1947 graduate of Fitchburg High School, she graduated the following year from Salter Secretarial School. Helen worked at the Fitchburg Public Library for many years until her retirement in 1986.

Helen was an active member of the Holy Trinity Churches in Fitchburg and Lowell. She was also a longtime member of the Philoptochos Society and the Chelmsford Garden Club.

Known for her sweet, warm personality, Helen loved entertaining family and friends; her house was always open. A superb cook, Helen also baked masterfully. Anyone lucky enough to have had them would say, her baklava and paximathia were legendary.

Helen is survived by four daughters: Anna Koules of New York City, Beth Koules of Boston, MA, Despina Anton and her husband Arthur of Carlisle, MA and Stephanie Koules of Brooklyn Heights, NY. Two grandchildren, Olivia Anton and Steven Anton, will forever be her pride and joy. Helen was the sister of the late Charles Bilionis and the late Dr. Angelo Bilionis.

Due to Covid, a private funeral service was held. A memorial service will take place at a later date. E-condolences at www.odonnellfuneralhome.com.
