Death

Joanna Lynard Burstein said that Stavroula died in Silver Spring MD and is buried in Ft. Lincoln Cemetery. I don't think this is correct. I think Joanna confused this Stavroula (Stella) with Stella Pavlakos who married Georgios Vasileios Lerikos/Laricos, who lived in Baltimore and Silver Spring.
