Estelle Moulketis
December 7, 1923 — June 12, 2012
Estelle “Babe” K. Moulketis, 88, a lifelong Stamford resident passed away on Tuesday, June 12, 2012, at home surrounded by her loving family. She was born on December 7, 1923, in Stamford, to the late Peter N. and Rose M. Pellicci Karukas.
Estelle graduated Stamford High School in 1941. After graduation, she worked as a legal secretary for Cummings and Lockwood. Nineteen years later, she resumed her working career after raising her children, with stints at Technomic Publishing, Inc., and Sidney Stanton, Inc. Her latest and final position was as the Administrative Assistant to Charles E. Bradley, CEO of Starwich Partners, Inc., a post she held for over 30 years. Estelle’s strongest love and devotion remained her church, however. She was a lifetime member of the Greek Orthodox Church of the Archangels, having also been a member of the Ladies Philoptoches Society and the Seniors Group. Mrs. Moulketis was a highly accomplished church musician as well. She wrote and arranged numerous hymns for liturgical use, had been the Assistant Director of the Archangels Choir for the past 48 years, and a member of the choir for over 70 years. Abiding in these words, she wrote the following: “ I lived my life as I chose, with God’s guidance, immersed in my family and relatives, whom I loved dearly.”
She is survived by her loving son, Dr. Thomas C. Moulketis and his wife Melissa of Fairfield, CT; her beloved grandchildren Dominick and Angela Carlucci of Brooklyn, NY; a cherished sister Barbara Murphy and her husband James of Newtown, CT; her dear cousins Catherine and William Grosso of Stamford, CT; as well as several nieces and nephews. She remains ever-present in the hearts of Tom’s in-laws James and Concetta Norris of Palm Coast, FL and Tom’s brother in-law James Norris of Smithtown, N.Y.
Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her devoted husband Charles J. Moulketis and their daughter Kathryn Moulketis Carlucci.
