Oconee County,GA : Oconee business owner killed in wreck on October, Thursday 12th 2017

Epps Bridge Big Frog Custom T-Shirts owner Laura Pitsikoulis was in the business of charity logos, spirit slogans and humdinger bon mots.
The shirts she sold channeled her own personality, which was filled with humor, joy and romanticism. Earlier this week, she posted on Facebook what could have been a prototype for a Valentine’s Day shirt. A photo collage of the men in her life—father, husband, boys—were artistically laid out with sappy catchphrases like “my first valentine” and “my forever valentine.”
One day before the holiday, Pitsikoulis, 55, of Barrow County, died in a car accident in Jones County.
She was asleep in the back seat when the driver, identified as her husband, struck a vehicle on the Gray bypass, according to The Macon Telegraph. Two people were killed at the same intersection last week, the Telegraph reported.
Pitsikoulis was a former stock trader with a journalism and communication degree from the University of Georgia. For the past two years, she and her husband, Gus, operated Big Frog Custom T-Shirts at Epps Bridge. She was a volunteer and former board member at Girl Talk, an Atlanta mentoring program.
“She was a shining light in the lives of so many people,” Charlley Ray Stalder, a high school friend, wrote on her Facebook page. “When she was behind a cause, whether it was Girl Talk, Noah’s Ark, No Longer Bound or tornado victims in South Georgia, she gave 100 percent.”
“I’m grateful I got to hug you last week when we donated blood together,” Lynne Dale wrote on her Facebook. “You are one of the most enthusiastic people to ever grace this earth.”
