Kalas Funeral Home & Crematory

Dr. Steve (Eustáthios) Abramedis of Annapolis, MD, age 95, peacefully passed away on Monday, October 21, just one day shy of his 96th birthday. Always dedicated to the field of medicine, he did not start a family of his own, but lovingly delivered babies for many years as a partner in the group which became Annapolis OB/GYN.  He was known for his astute diagnostic skills (prior to Ultrasound, etc.) and was honored to be published in the American Journal of Medicine for diagnosing an ectopic pregnancy that saved a life.  Dr. Abramedis was passionately indiscriminate in his service to the Annapolis region’s underprivileged, insuring they received the same exceptional gynecological care as anyone in the community. 
Dr. Abramedis was devoted to his faith, regularly attending services at Saints Constantine & Helen Greek Orthodox Church where he helped in many capacities, including parish council president.  
Born in Washington, DC, but always directly connected to Annapolis, he was the only child of the late John and Theresa Abramedis. Teresa’s sister was Frosso (Efrosini) Bounelis, the first president of the Annapolis Philoptochos. During the Great Depression his family left the area for restaurant work with Theresa’s brother, Chris Diamondidis, in Clifton Forge, VA, where Steve graduated high school. He attended nearby Virginia Military Institute and entered the Army which sponsored his medical training at Virginia Commonwealth University.  After serving honorably in the Korean War, Dr. Abramedis was discharged as a Captain. 
Wanting to get back to his roots, he returned to Annapolis where he established his career, and looked after family who fondly called him Stathi. Before complete retirement, he served the underprivileged, caring for those in need at the Anne Arundel County Health Dept.  
Funeral Service will be held at Saints Constantine & Helen Greek Orthodox Church, 2747 Riva Rd., Annapolis, MD 21401 on Monday, October 28 at 11 am. Interment will follow at St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Cemetery in Annapolis. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in his memory to Saints Constantine & Helen Greek Orthodox Church.
