WELLINGTON – Devoted husband, father, and papou, Angelo E. Pappas, age 89, peacefully departed this life on Sept. 16, 2018.
He was born on April 12, 1929 in Price, Utah to Constantinos E. Pappas and Catherine Marie Naturale. Married Katherine Drossis on April 24, 1955 at the Assumption Greek Orthodox Church in Price.
Angelo loved his family with all his heart, and he touched the lives of all who knew him.
As a boy, Angelo spent summers sheep ranching near Vail, Colorado. The experience gave him a yearning to have his own farm. That dream came true in 1972 when Katherine and he bought a 160-acre farm.
He was a quiet and hard-working man, who was always there to lend a hand when needed.
Lifelong resident of Carbon County and retired employee of Questar Corporation in Price.
“May his memory be eternal.”
