Who is Eva?
Eva Doucas (Margaret's mother) was a gentle lady who was born on Greece in troubled times.
In 1922 Eva's mother, Dimitra and her family fled the burning of Smyrna while Dimitra was pregnant with Eva, to Greece, where Eva was born. Much of her childhood and early adulthood in the 1940s was spent in poverty as a displaced person but she was fortunate enough to eventually arrive in New Zealand.
She was accepting of her lot and very sympathetic of others in difficult circumstances, always giving something to charity.
Probably because of her early experiences she valued beauty and generosity. She set a good example of valuing the earth's resources and practiced recycling all her life.
