Katerina Mageros was born in the mountain village of Drimonas on the island of Kythera in March 1907.

At age 21 she married Minas Mageros from the same village. They established a home in the village, and had two boys, Panayiotos & Manolis.

In 1937, Minas migrated to Australia. Katerina followed in 1952. The whole family worked hard in various businesses.

In time Katerina became the proud grandmother of 7 grandchildren, and 12 great grandchildren.

She recently celebrated her 100th birthday surrounded by her family and friends at the Saint Nicholas Nursing Home in South Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
