      History

      Marina Sterghiou was born on January 21, 1932 in the Kolonos district of Athens, Greece. After graduating from high school, she learned how to type and worked as a typist in a lawyers office. She immigrated to Canada in 1958, and was married that same year. In 1959, her first daughter, Helen, was born. Sterghiou worked at Cooper Canada Limited and at Regal Cards until the birth of her second daughter, Maria in 1966.

      Following the death of her mother, Sterghiou made a promise to herself to get more involved with community service. She joined the Ladies’ Philanthropic Association (“Philoptochos”) at the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary Greek Orthodox Cathedral (also known colloquially as “Panagia”). She served as Treasurer from 1983-1984, and then as President from 1986-1989. She continued to volunteer with the Ladies’ Philanthropic Association for many years after her term as president, but eventually had to step away from her duties to attend to her family.
