It was a big story, it was a great diva for 30 yearswith a large discography and was especially in Achaia, the first name! He had financial problems. He ended up getting the national pension. We tried to get him an honorary pension from the Ministry of Culture, but we didn’t succeed. We didn’t have time….
As a person, she was a good character, supported the Association, helped those who asked her for help. At all the major events of the Association she was present and honored her colleagueshe had collaborated with all the native professionals of the field and was widely accepted by the world. As a colleague, she was wonderful, especially in the campy song, she was unique! He was a beast at work! Tireless and honorable!”.
Her colleague singer, Dimitris Sakalis, said to “P”:
“Good Heaven to him! She was a worthy colleague, that we have had an undisturbed and constructive cooperation for many years. It was charismatic performer of the National Anthem and people adored her wherever she appeared. God rest her.”

The clarinetist Valantis Karagiannisaccompanied her for many years on the music stage: “We had played together many times, in Greece, Germany and America.

She was a genuine municipal performer, an excellent colleague, with a great impact in the world and took part in solidarity events in favor of her colleagues”.
