Story by Bertha Pouletsos (Aug. 2, 2003 to Carol Petranek):
Yiayia's children do not have her mother (Stathoula) or father's (Louis) names. Yiayia wanted Bill's name to be Kostas, after her father, but at the time of his christening, Bill's godmother named him after her husband. Yiayia wanted Bertha to be named Stathoula, after her mother, but at the time of her christening, Bertha's godparents named her Panayiota. Thus, Yiayia never had the honor of having a child named after either of her parents.
Yiayia Angelina was a strong willed and active woman. Mom often said that she was born years before her time; that if she was younger today, she would be out with the activists, fighting for women's rights. She loved to shop and would take the subway from Hoboken, New Jersey to New York City several times a week and come back with bargains. She did not speak or read English, but that did not stop her from excursions to New York. Her hands were constantly busy, crocheting tablecloths, furniture scarves, bedspreads and other handwork. Mom & Aunt Bertha said her hands were never idle. She worked with her husband in his restaurant.
She owned a house in Westwood, New Jersey with her son, Bill and lived there with Bill and his wife, Pauline. Once when Bill & Pauline moved out, Yiayia was alone and took in a woman boarder, but that didn't work out and Yiayia asked her to leave. For a while, Yiayia worked at a doctor's dormitory in Westwood as a house-mother to interns. Uncle Nick Pouletsos would take her back and forth to work. She had a stroke, and Bertha and Nick made an apartment for her in Hillsdale behind their greenhouses and Bill & Pauline moved back to the Westwood home. Yiayia said the chemicals from the greenhouses bothered her and she went to California to visit her son, Nick for a year or two. The Pouletsos' moved to Long Island in 1963 and Mom moved to Maryland in 1961. When Yiayia returned from California, she began splitting her time between Long Island and Maryland. She began having mini-strokes, and went to a Greek doctor who Uncle Bill knew. He put her in a nursing home in Westwood, which was costly, and Pauline called Social Services and found her a room in a nursing home in Wayne, New Jersey. She got sick and died in a hospital in Patterson.

I wrote the following and posted it on Angelina's page on FamilySearch Family Tree, September 28, 2014:
"You are just like my mother," my own mother repeated countless times. Whether I was doing handwork (like needlepoint or making quilts), traveling, cooking or just being constantly on the go, Mom's comments and comparison was always forthcoming. And every time I heard those words, I felt a special kinship with her.Born in the village of Mystras outside Sparta, Greece, Angelina Eftaxias was brought to the US at age 18 by her half-brother, John. She sailed from Patras on the S.S. Oceania and arrived in New York on March 11, 1912. John brought her to America to find her a husband and begin a better life. On April 27, 1914, Angelina married Louis Peter Pappas (Ilias Panagiotis Papagiannakos) at Holy Trinity Church in Brooklyn. They settled in Hoboken, NJ and had 4 children: my mother (Catherine), Bertha, Nicholas and William. Louis and Angelina owned a restaurant in Hoboken, NJ. At first, Louis ran the restaurant and Angelina cared for the family, but when the Depression hit and business fell, Louis feared he would have to sell the restaurant. It was Angelina who suggested that they fire the cook, and that she would take his place, thus enabling them to keep their only source of revenue. By doing so, the family weathered the terrible times that brought tragedy to so many families. Angelina was always looking for ways to improve the family's circumstances, frequently moving from one apartment to a nicer one as circumstances allowed. My mother and Aunt Bertha would often joke and say, "Someday we will come home from school, only to find that Momma had moved and forgot to tell us." Angelina was constantly on the go: shopping in New York, taking her children to visit family in Brooklyn, or taking them to the beach at Coney Island. Every summer, she went to the Catskill Mountains in upstate New York to spend a couple of weeks at "Sparta Manor," where fellow Greeks gathered. Although she did not speak or read English, that didn't stop her from getting around. She traveled weekly to New York to shop the sales in the department stores , navigating the bus and subway systems flawlessly. Her hands were always busy knitting, crocheting or sewing tablecloths, bedspreads and furniture scarves. The word "idle" was not in her vocabulary. Neither was the word "submission." Although she was raised in a patriarchal culture, she was a strong woman who voiced her opinions and encouraged women around her to speak up for themselves and be independent. She kept her family together after the death of her husband, steadfastly refusing the offer of an uncle to step in and handle family affairs. Angelina owned her own home in Westwood, New Jersey, where she lived with one of her sons and daughter-in-law. I remember walking with my mother and brother from our house in the neighboring town of Hillsdale to Yiayia's house where we played in her yard and explored the nooks and crannies of her home. For several years, Angelina lived in California close to her son, Nick, but she moved back east in her later years When she was unable to live alone, she split her time between our house in Maryland her daughter's home in Long Island. True to her fierce independence and despite the fierce opposition of her daughters, Yiayia checked herself into a nursing home when she became ill, as she did not want her daughters to bear the burden of caring for her. She leaves us a legacy that I am proud to pass on to her descendants: be true to yourself; be strong; stand up for what is right; work hard; love your family; never be afraid; trust in God. I love being compared with my grandmother. She is my heroine. Thank you, Yiayia.
