NEW YORK — Ioanna Antzouli-Giannopoulou, the longtime Director of Operations of Hellenic Public Radio–Cosmos FM and a beloved figure in New York’s Greek American community, passed away suddenly in her native Lamia, Greece, on Sunday, August 23, 2026—the day of her 72nd birthday.

Born in Lamia and raised in Athens, Giannopoulou moved with her family to Brooklyn in 1973. She studied English writing at New York University and earned a liberal arts degree from Brooklyn College.

After stepping away from radio to raise her two sons, George and Thomas, she served her beloved Three Hierarchs Greek Orthodox parish as Parent-Teacher Organization president, a School Board member, and a Philoptochos volunteer.
