George T. Kostarellas, 85, a resident of Dracut, passed away peacefully on Saturday, March 22, 2025, at Lowell General Hospital, surrounded by his loving family. He was the beloved husband of Stella (Dousis) Kostarellas with whom he shared 43 years of marriage.

He was born in Grevena, Greece on February 27, 1940, and was the son of the late Thomas and Eugenia (Patsiarikas) Kostarellas.

Georgewas raised in Oropedio, Macedonia, Greece. He came to the United States with his parents where he attended Lowell High School and lived in the Acre neighborhood of Lowell with his father. He studied electrical engineering at the University of Lowell. George worked as an engineer until later becoming a restaurant owner in Billerica for many years until his retirement. When he was a restaurant owner, he never passed up a chance to give his employees the shirt off his back. Despite many health setbacks over the years, George never lost his strength to live every day and his love for his family. Georges best times in his later years were the endless hours he spent during the summer days making his own vegetable garden. He attended various Greek Social clubs in Lowell where he was an avid card player and a man of great wisdom who could hold a conversation with everyone. George was the proudest of his three children, Jennifer, Nicole, and Thomas. It brought him much joy to see his young grandchildren, Melina, Evie, and Cameron.

In addition to his loving wife Stella, George leaves his children, Jennifer Kostarellas of Dracut, Thomas Kostarellas of Dracut, Nicole Pierce and her husband Jonathan Pierce, and their children Melina, Evie, and Cameron, all of Scituate.
