Bessie Scholarinas, age 90, of Indianapolis, formerly of Logansport, passed away June 24, 2020.
The daughter of Peter and Catherine (Mikalarias) Scholarinas, Bessie was born May 23, 1930 in Wooster, Ohio.
She was a member of Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral, Carmel. Her parents immigrated to the United States in the 1930’s from Sparta, Greece and upon their deaths became the owner of their olive farm in Greece.
Bessie was compassionate and enjoyed giving small gifts of appreciation to her friends, which included the late Senator Richard G. Lugar, the late Senator Birch E. Bayh and Senator Evan Bayh. When on the telephone, if she got an answering machine, she would end the conversation with ”Excuse Me, Thank You, Goodbye”.
Bessie is survived by cousin, Marianne Carvour of Amherst, OH; her longtime caregiver, George A. Farley of Indianapolis.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brother, John P. Scholarinas.
