Celebrating the life of
Marion John Stoupenos
Passed away on January 02, 2020
Marion John Stoupenos, 84, November 21, 1935-January 2, 2020. Beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and great friend. Preceded in death by his son Paul, his parents John and Loukia Stoupenos, and his brother, Taso Stoupenos. Born in Strovolos, Cyprus, he immigrated to the United States with his family to South Carolina at 11 years old, became a citizen, and served in the U.S. Army.
For 28 years, he managed several McCrory stores around the United States, including two in the Savannah area (H.L. Green in Garden City and McCrory's at Oglethorpe Mall). He was an award winning Manager of the Year numerous times. He took his business savvy and experience, and bought Christy's Department Store on Tybee Island in 1984. He worked there everyday with his family for 35 years. He loved to "merchandise".
He was parishioner of St. Paul's Greek Orthodox Church, and served on the Parish Council for many years. He was a 32 Degree Scottish Rite Master Mason in Landrum Lodge No. 48 F&AM. He loved to eat breakfast with his group of friends at Larry's Restaurant everyday, where they shared many jokes and stories. He had a soft spot for all animals and took care of his own and others'.
He is survived by his wife of over 51 years, Leah, daughters Loukia Tsiaras (Vasilis) and Viki Stoupenos, brother Lukie Stoupenos (Theresa), grandson Vangeli Tsiaras, and several beloved nieces and nephews.
Visitation will be Sunday, January 5th from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. with a Trisagion Service at 6:00 p.m. at St. Paul's Greek Orthodox Church. Funeral Service will be at 2:30 p.m. Monday, January 6th at St. Paul's Greek Orthodox Church, with burial to follow in Greenwich Cemetery. Officiated by Fr. John Wallace, Fr. Thomas J. Paris, Fr. Paul Paris, and Fr. John Caparisos. Donations can be made to St. Paul's Greek Orthodox Church-Renovation Committee.
I remember when he would come by the office to check on insurance and stay to chat a while, he and Jim had some good talks. He was a gentleman and a sweet soul. It was a beautiful service for him today. So sorry to you and your family

Please accept my condolences for your loss. He was a wonderful man! My Father, Robert, knew him very well. I remember my dad would take us down to Tybee on Sundays. We would always stop in to see him. He never minded us kids running around the store and he ALWAYS insisted that we take a few small items to go have fun at the beach. I am so sorry for your loss!

So sorry that we didn't know this until now. Loved his twinkle in his eye and the faint smile that would come through when he was trying to act so gruff. He will be sorely missed. Your friends from Ga
