Andrew Leonidas Kousoulis' Obituary
Andrew Leonidas Kousoulis, born June 5, 1940, in Elika, Laconia, Greece, passed away peacefully on January 25, 2026, in Lewes, Delaware, surrounded by his family.
Andrew left his home of Elika at a young age but always remained connected to the close-knit community. He made frequent trips to visit his home, he organized on behalf of his village, helping everyone he could who had roots there.
He lived in Chicago while getting his degree from the University of Illinois, and in Athens while attending medical school, and later settled in South Jersey with his wife, Elisabeth, where he practiced his profession and raised his family.
As an Obstetrician and Gynecologist, he helped thousands of women and brought new life safely into the world. His own world was his family, to whom he gave everything and connected them to his community and heritage.
Andrew was preceded in death by his parents, Leonidas and Georgia and his sisters; Elisabet, Fani, Anastasia, and Eleni.
Andrew is survived by his beloved wife, Elisabeth Tsigounis Kousoulis; his daughter, Georgia Kousoulis Hicklin, and her husband, Matthew Hicklin; his son, Constantine Kousoulis; his grandson, Andrew Hicklin; nieces, nephews, cousins, and many friends all over the world.
