    Tributes

    Far away…but beloved people

    The administrative council of our society added a new chapter on its internet page named ‘Tributes’. The life and the legacy of people who lived and passed by our village and helped the development, the peace and the progress of this place in a big or in a smaller extent, will be presented on it.

    We thought to initiate the ‘TRIBUTES’ presenting the FACE OF A WOMAN. An educated and really active woman for her days. A woman who although she was not mother she snuggled a lot of children. This woman is Miss Sofia Diamadopoulou of Athanasios and Maria.

    Her name is straightforward connected with the known family of doctor Vasileios Diamadopoulos as he was her brother. Furthermore, her name is connected with the Loukopoulos family as her sister was married with Konstantinos Loukopoulos.

    Sofia was born in 1903. She graduated from the Medicine University of Athens in 1933. She studied midwife, seeing it not as a job but as the ministration of the love, the care, the affection for the People and especially for the Woman and the Mother. She did her practice next to the eximious gynecologist Mr Louros. According to the acknowledgements she approximately delivered 2500 babies. She devoted her life on this duty and she was always present when someone needed her help. Many women of our village emphasize to her simpleness and her love to the people. She was always there to help people.

    Sofia is not with us anymore. However, her humanity and her offer, which made her to excel, will be forever in our hearts.
