On the fourth anniversary of her mother Stavroula "Litsa" Menounos' passing, television host and actress Maria Menounos shared an emotional tribute on Instagram, reflecting on her grief, faith, and commitment to spreading joy. In the post, Menounos expressed how much she misses her mother, particularly when her daughter, Athena, reaches new milestones. "Every time Athena says something or does something new I feel a tug in my heart," she wrote.
Menounos revealed that Father Georgios offered her comfort, reminding her that Jesus wants her to find happiness and that her mother would want the same. He also encouraged her to continue bringing "light and joy" through her work, a mission Menounos embraced wholeheartedly. "I want to be and bring the light. I want to bring joy wherever I go," she affirmed.
To honor her mother’s memory, Menounos planned a day filled with dancing, singing, and enjoying strawberries and cheese—her mother’s favorite foods. She described her daughter Athena as a source of "light and pure joy," believing her mother sent Athena to her. "She’s more than I ever could have imagined," Menounos wrote, expressing gratitude to her late mother.
The post, shared with her 1.2 million followers, included a heartfelt caption and resonated with fans, including comments from supporters like iamalysezwick. Menounos’ tribute highlighted her resilience and dedication to celebrating her mother’s legacy with positivity and love.
