Fourteen years later she returned to the United States to be with her father, Aunt Jenny and her family, while her mother and sister remained in Greece until a visa became available.

To her nieces and nephews, her home had an open door and was always filled with warmth and treats. Through her kindness she helped bring her husband's brothers and sisters to the United States. Although she was devastated by the death of her son Angelo six years ago, the last several years of her life were blessed by her granddaughter Angela Nicole (her kukia), who brought her great joy and happiness.
