Frosine Revelos

Frosine Revelos, 101, of Middletown, died Friday, December 11, 2009, at Hospice of Butler and Warren Counties. She was born in Greece on March 3, 1908 to parents Michael and Eleni (Karteroulis) Aridas.

She came to Middletown as a bride to Nicholas G. Revelos , one of the founders of Elite Ice Cream Co., in 1929. When he preceded her in death in 1941, she was left to raise her five children, aged 3 to 11 alone. She obtained her American Citizenship and went to work at Elite's to support them. She sold her interest in Elite's after a year and a half to devote her full time to care for her children. Trying to do both took a toll on her health. She was very active in her church and was a charter member of the Philoptochos, a church organization to help the poor. During World War II she and other ladies sent clothing in the Bundles for Brittain program. In her later years she worked at the Revelos Confectionery on Central Avenue.

Mrs. Revelos is survived by her sons, George N. Revelos, Mike (Katina) Revelos, Chris (Elaine Renee) Revelos and daughter, Lula Poulias and grandsons, Nicholas M. Revelos, Alcibiades Poulias and Nicholas C. (Victoria) Revelos; granddaughters, Euphrosyne (Rick) Eccher, Mary (Adam) Knecht, Jamie (Vernon) Beatty, Francine (James) Ulrich and Chrisanne (Jeffery) Heisey; 7 great grandchildren.
