She was a proud original member of the Cretan Association of Windsor and a lifelong member of the Greek Orthodox Community of Windsor.
Maria was a caring, strong, resilient and fierce protector of her family. Family and friends refer to her wonderful witty sense of humour, creativity, loyalty, and optimism under all circumstances, dedication, compassion, understanding, warmth, and most of all her immeasurable inner strength and faith against all odds. She was strong and her determination enabled her to live at home to enjoy a meaningful life despite her many challenges.
The family is grateful for and thank all who supported and helped care for her the past few years. After a full life of 90 years, it is now time to return the wonderful gift to God. May a flight of Angels take you on their wings to your sweet resting place in heaven. We carry you with us always- in our hearts, souls and memories. You are loved and remembered forever.
