Maria was born in Piraeus, Greece and after coming to America in 1968, she worked as a seamstress for many years. She enjoyed sewing, cooking and tending to her garden. Most important, she continued sharing her faith for the Lord and Panagia with her family and friends. She was an active member of St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church, where she devoted much of her time, always praising the Lord and chanting the Paraklesis. In recognition to her volunteerism, Maria was honored with the St. Photios Award by the Metropolis of Pittsburgh. She will be remembered for preparing the Kollyva and was an active volunteer for many festivals making her famous Saganaki and artichokes. She will be forever remembered as a gentle, loving soul to all her family and friends. May her memory be eternal.
