A devoted wife and mother, Maria was an active member of All Saints Greek Orthodox Church including volunteer activities at the annual Greek Festival, the Pan Rhodian Society, the Philoptochos Society, and other charitable church groups. Maria was an avid reader who encouraged education and enjoyed current events. She embraced the language and culture of the United States and was proud to become a naturalized US citizen. A seamstress by training, Maria enjoyed fashion and brought her artistic talents to many creative endeavors including oil painting, gardening, knitting, and baking. She loved to travel overseas with her husband and family including trips to Europe, Jerusalem, Constantinople, Egypt and other destinations. She enjoyed annual summers in the village with her family, and ensured that her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren visited often. When not traveling, her favorite destination was enjoying nature from her back porch.
