She worked on the family farm until 1962, when she migrated to Australia. Her fiancé Evangelos followed a year later, and the couple lived in shared housing. After working in several factories, in 1968 Evangelia and her husband purchased a takeaway food business, which they sold in 1974 after winning a lottery. The family stayed in Bexley, and Evangelia worked happily for the State Rail Authority until her retirement. |
