It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Antonia Bougadis, born November 5, 1958, who passed away peacefully on August 9, 2026, at the age of 67.

Antonia was a loving, generous, and incredibly strong woman who devoted her life to her family. She was born in Chora, Messinia, Greece, and carried with her the warmth, strength, and values of her Greek heritage throughout her life.

For over 30 years, Antonia and her husband, Peter Bougadis, owned and operated ice cream trucks. It was more than simply a career for Antonia—it was a way of life that she shared with Peter for over three decades. She took pride in her work and in the life they built together.

Antonia will be deeply missed by her husband, Peter, her daughter, Irene and son-in-law Niko, her granddaughter, Antonia, and her stepdaughter, Marianne, as well as her extended family, relatives, and friends.

She will be remembered for her generosity, her strength, her loving heart, and the lasting impression she made on the people around her. Her love for her family will remain with us always.

May her memory be eternal.
