Hrisoula
Passed away, on Saturday afternoon, March 11, 2006, at Saint Michael's
Hospital, Toronto, after a lengthy illness. Born June 20, 1929,
in Agios Pantaleimonon, Greece, Hrisoula was predeceased by her
devoted husband, Evangelos
FOTIADIS.
She will be greatly missed
her 5 loving daughters, Anastasia
ROMANO,
Aristea
BOLLARD, Despina
BURSEY,
Thomai
JENSEN, and Viva
TSVETNOVA, who nursed her lovingly
until the end. Hrisoula also sadly leaves her 5 grandchildren,
whom she was extremely proud of, Lorna
JENSEN,
Mario
ROMANO,
Kelly BOLLARD,
Timothy
BOLLARD, and Tara
BURSEY. Hrisoula was
a ceaseless fighter and survivor, having been abducted at the
age of 18 by the Partisan Rebel Army in the 1948 Greek Civil
War. She was a machine gunner, sharp-shooter, operated rocket
launched grenades, was a mobile cave hospital nurse, and military
code cryptographer. Despite her training, Hrisoula was pleased
to say that she never killed or harmed anyone. Hrisoula and her
family immigrated to Canada in 1967 to escape the Greek military
dictatorship, and settled in Toronto's Greektown since 1971 as
a respected member of the community and proud homemaker. Services
will be held Wednesday, March 15th at 11 a.m. at St. Cyril and
Methody Macedonian Orthodox Cathedral, 238 Sackville Street, Toronto,

name at the Palliative Care Unit of Saint Michael's Hospital, 416-864-5454,
in gratitude for their outstanding care.
