Steven A. Koules 

1929 - 2019 - Lovingly Remembered

Steven A. “Steve” Koules, 89, of North Chelmsford, Massachusetts formerly of Fitchburg, Massachusetts, passed away peacefully at his home on January 8, 2019.

Born in Fitchburg, Massachusetts on March 8, 1929, the only son of the late Antoneos Koules and Helen (Chiamis) Koules, Steve graduated from Fitchburg High School in 1947.  He received a Bachelor of Science degree in 1952 from Hampden College of Pharmacy (now part of Massachusetts College of Pharmacy).

In 1960 Steve became owner and operator of Senay Pharmacy, the “corner drugstore” on Bemis Road in Fitchburg.  Senay Pharmacy remained a fixture in the neighborhood until Steve sold the business in 1994.  He continued to work part-time as a pharmacist until the age of 85. 

A loving husband, father and grandfather, Steve found joy in spending time with his family and in doing for others. Generous in nature, kind and soft-spoken, he is remembered fondly and will be greatly missed.  Steve was a life-long member of the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Fitchburg and, since 1998, a member of the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Lowell, Massachusetts.

Steve is survived by his beloved wife of 64 years, Helen (Bilionis) Koules, and his children: Anna Koules of New York City; Beth Koules of Charlestown, Massachusetts; Despina Koules Anton and Arthur Anton of Carlisle, Massachusetts; Stephanie Koules of Brooklyn, New York; and his grandchildren, Olivia Anton and Steven Anton.

  Dear Koules family, I grew up near Senays in the early to mid 1960’s and spent many of my very younger days sitting at the soda fountain counter or shopping for comic books. Mr. Koules was always sweet, kind, funny and welcoming. I remember him well. Those were simpler times. Sending sincere and heartfelt sympathy to the family.

  With both sympathy and respect, I send my heartfelt condolences to the whole Koules Family. I was lucky enough to share my elementary school years with "Nina Louise" and spend time in the company of sisters Anna, "Tiger Lil" and Stephanie during that time. I do still live in Fitchburg with my wife, and have raised two children. Every time I pass your Ashby State Road homestead I think of you and your terrific Mom. I remember your Dad as a warm and interested man, so supportive of his 4 outstanding children. As I grow a little older, I so appreciate my past, and the importance of quality people, experiences, and memories. Thanks for being part of mine. - Steve
