On the fourth anniversary of her mother Stavroula “Litsa” Menounos’ passing, Maria Menounos shared a heartfelt Instagram post, reflecting on her grief and commitment to spreading joy. “Every time Athena says something or does something new I feel a tug in my heart,” she wrote, noting Father Georgios’ advice to find happiness and bring “light and joy” through her work. To honor her mother, Menounos planned to dance, sing, and enjoy strawberries and cheese, celebrating her daughter Athena as a gift from her mother.
