Evelyn Poulos Anastasiou, wife of the late Lazarus J. Anastasiou, died Oct. 10 in Freehold, New Jersey. She was the mother of Dr. Theodore J. Anastasiou (Amanda Anastasiou) of Holmdel, New Jersey, and Gregory G. Anastasiou (Melissa Anastasiou) of East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, and grandmother of Clayton, Calista, Alexa, Skyla, and Alivia.

Mrs. Anastasiou graduated from Florida State University with a B.S. in English. Early on, she was a teacher in Hartford, then a guidance counselor in Madison. She then focused on raising a family once her sons were born, but kept involved in education by tutoring many local students. She enjoyed an active social life with friends and neighbors. She recently moved from Guilford to New Jersey to be closer to her children and grandchildren, who brought her so much joy.
