The sudden death Roula Pantselia, has been met with shock and sadness by the Greek community. Ms Pantselia passed away at the age of 64 while sleeping.
Roula Pantselia was well known and respected within the Greek community, for her long-standing involvement in the Lemnian Community, which she served for decades in various positions.
Her children published the sad announcement, and among other things said:
“Our beautiful mother left us too early. Words cannot describe how much we already miss you and how lost and devastated we feel without you to guide us in life.”
“You were so generous, loving, kind, decisive, and above all strong. Life was not always easy for you, but you held your head up high and always put the needs of others above your own.
“You had such a positive impact on so many people and left behind an amazing legacy. Your six beautiful grandchildren loved you more than anything else.”
Ms Pantselia children’s’ statement said that that “everything happens for a reason and that when God closes one door, he will open another, we just must have faith.”
The heartbreak was evident as the statement said that Ms Pantselia’s family “cannot understand” why she “had to leave” so soon, adding that they can only take comfort that their mother is “now in a better place.”
