Angela “Angie” (Plutis) Theofilis
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Angela “Angie” (Plutis) Theofilis of Penn Hills, Sunday, February 1, 2026 at the age of 88. Beloved mother of Peter (Lori), Dr. Gary (Barb), and Chris (the late Laura) and cherished grandmother of Max, Abby, Isabel, Aristotle, and Alexander. Angie was preceded in death by her husband Anthony “Tony”, grandson Paramedic Nicholas Theofilis and sister Georgia Tsambis. She is survived by her sisters Popie Lardas, Joanne Niffenegger and close cousin Cathy Champagne.
Angela was born March 6, 1937, in Verona, PA to parents Argyrios “Harry” and Mary (Katinos) both from Ikaria, Greece. She graduated from Verona High School in 1955 where she played violin and was a flag bearer in the marching band. Angela met her future husband, Tony, at a St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church dance in Oakland. They were married in July 1959, and together they raised a family filled with love, laughter, and lasting memories.
Over the years, Angie worked many jobs including administrative work for Tony’s CPA practice.
She belonged to the Dormition of the Theotokos Greek Orthodox Church in Oakmont. The church was a big part of Angie and Tony’s life, where she sang in the choir, and was a member of Ladies Philoptochos. Angie was a visible fixture at the annual Food Festival from its first year until just a few years ago. Angie was also well known for making Greek yogurt. Most of all, Angie loved being a mother and Yia Yia and talking with her sisters.
She will be deeply missed.
The family would like to thank and acknowledge the wonderful, compassionate care given by the staff in the Harmar Village Health and Rehab Cheswick, PA.
