She came to America to build a home and a family with Peter J. Antjas whom she married February 14, 1971. Together they raised three children who were a great source of pride. Voula enjoyed tending to her garden on summer evenings, using its yields to feed her family and friends. A master seamstress, she was known throughout the community for her attention to detail. Her greatest joy was supporting her children and grandchildren in all of their achievements. She taught them all the importance of faith, family, and love.
