Margaret Roupas Obituary

Margaret Louise "Kay" (Atwood) Roupas

January 6, 2026

BEECH CREEK, NC - Margaret Louise "Kay" (Atwood) Roupas, 89, of Beech Creek, North Carolina, passed away peacefully in her sleep on January 6, 2026. Born in Beech Creek and raised in Mountain City, Tennessee, Kay was a standout cheerleader and majorette in her youth before building a loving life in Johnson City, with her husband of over sixty years, Gus Roupas, who preceded her in death.

Kay was devoted to her family: children; Mark, Dawn, and Herb, her four grandchildren, and eight great grandchildren. She was known for her sharp mind at the card table, enjoying her love of bridge and teaching her grandchildren the finer points of poker.

She will be remembered for her warmth, humor, and the joy she brought to every gathering. The family extends its heartfelt appreciation to the healthcare professionals and staff at both Dominion Senior Living and NHC of Johnson City.

Mom, your work on this earth is done. Go rest high on that Mountain!

Kay was friends with our family for decades. She and my mom took such fun trips together and had many laughs. She and Gus played cards with my parents and other friends and I always remember them having such a good time. She was such a sweet person. The last time I saw her at Dominion, she was still her same sweet and funny self. My sincere condolences to her family, she will be greatly missed!

So sorry for your loss. May all the wonderful memories bring you peace. She was a friend for many years but I had lost contact the past few years.

Have been a family friend with the Roupas'. Ms Kay was such a sweet lady always with a smile. I'm sorry for her passing but she's with our father God, Gus and family that has previously gone before her. Thanks Herb for bringing her by the shop just getting to see her again was a pleasure but now always a great memory. God be with your family. Love you guys
