Panagiota D. Marinakis

April 4, 1935 — August 6, 2023

Panagiota D. Marinakis was born on April 4, 1935 in Zevgolatio, Tripolis, Greece, to Theodore and Chrissa (Mendis) Kanatas. She emigrated to Melbourne, Australia in 1959, where she met and married her husband, Dimitrios G. Marinakis in 1962. In 1968, she and her husband, and their two young children make their way to Cincinnati, Ohio, where they expanded their family with two more children, and where they resided the remainder of their lives.  Panagiota devoted her entire life to God and her family and found joy and pride in raising and caring for her children and grandchildren.  She assisted her son, Bill, in his dental practice, Southwest Dental, for over 25 years, where she worked well into her 80's.

She was pre-deceased by her beloved husband, Dimitrios G. Marinakis, her loving son Dr. Bill D. Marinakis, sister Sophia Kanatas, and brother, Konstantine Kanatas.  She is survived by her children, George D. Marinakis (Helen), Ted D. Marinakis (Katie), Angela D. Marinakis; grandchildren Pamela Marinakis, Sofia Blackstone, James W. Marinakis, Paula Marinakis, Chrissa Marinakis, Dimitri Marinakis, Dimitra Marinakis, Victoria Marinakis, Nicole Marinakis, Constantine W. Marinakis; brothers Nicholas Kanatas and Vasilios Kanatas, and many nieces and nephews.

Her greatest contentment in life centered around her family, and her greatest sorrow was losing her cherished son, Bill, and not being permitted to see his children after his death.
