Petroulla Elias Mehmet
16 June 1939 - 8 January 2010
Petroulla was a remarkable woman, born in Kormakiti, Cyprus in 1939, as one of eleven siblings. She left her homeland in 1955 to pursue a career in midwifery in London where she met Rashit, her beloved husband. As a single mother for the majority of the time due to Rashit's early life difficulties, Petroulla worked hard to make ends meet alone and eventually became a successful businesswoman. Petroulla's story is a powerful lesson in the fight for survival against all odds. Her perseverance in the face of adversity is an inspiration to all, and her spirit will live on as a beacon of hope and courage for generations to come. Her loss is felt deeply by those who knew her, and her memory will forever be treasured as an ode to the human heart's indomitable spirit. She will be remembered as a true warrior who faced life's challenges with grit and grace, paving the way for a better tomorrow.
