Stella Rosa Linardos

Stella Rosa Ypsilantis Linardos, 92, a native of Tarpon Springs and devout Greek Orthodox Christian, passed away surrounded by her loved ones, on July 19, 2025. She was born in Tarpon Springs, Florida to Kivotos and Rosa Ypsilantis. She was a loving wife, mother and grandmother. She will always be remembered as an incredible strong, brave, thoughtful, kind, giving and loving person who always put the needs of others before her own and she possessed a beautiful soul.  She loved and was loved by many friends who will miss her greatly.  She was truly a genuine person who freely gave loving greetings to everyone and who's smile was always from the heart. You could rely on her to be your best critic, and yet your strongest supporter, the greatest friend and most trusted advisor, that always spoke the truth even if it hurt. She was predeceased by her son, Leonard Linardos and her beloved brother, Hercules Ypsilantis and sister Fannie Michealedis. She is survived by her son, Kevin Linardos; and two daughter in laws, Lisa Kaye Linardos, and Roxanna Linardos. The joys of her life were her three grandchildren, Megann Rose Linardos, Kevin Lawrence Linardos and Tristan John Linardos; many nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family and lifelong friends. She earned the respect of her community by giving freely of love and kindness and never had an enemy. Her legacy will be that she was the rock and foundation of a very close and loving family whose values and morals were shaped and influenced by her example of a life well lived.
