Loudon-----Elaine Evangelou Karras, 79, passed away at her home on Wednesday, November 30, 2011.
Elaine was born November 3, 1932 in Newport, N.H., the daughter of the late George and Mary (Charas) Karras. Elaine lived most of her life in Concord and Merrimack before moving to Loudon a few years ago. Elaine was employed for many years with the Concord School District and Allen Bradley Corporation.
Elaine cherished spending time with her grandchildren which were her greatest joy.

Elaine’s favorite time was spent relaxing along the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee.
Survivors include her son, James Evangelou of Lexington, Kentucky; a daughter, Leni and her husband Mark Gangi of Gilford, N.H.; three grandchildren, Christina and Philip Gangi, both of Gilford and Derek Evangelou of Londonderry; and a sister, Evelyn Saggiotes of Concord.
