♥ ♥ ~ My Aunt Frossine ~ ♥ ♥
Frossine was the third of seven children. She was named after her paternal grandmother, Efrosinia Kapasulios Panagakos. On June 23, 1938 she was baptized at the Church of the Annunciation of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary in Wilkes-Barre.
In June 1944, Frossine graduated from the James M Coughlin High School in Wilkes-Barre. Her first job was working at Woodlawn Dairy. From 1945-1949 she was a waitress at her father's restaurant – The Faust – located on Public Square in Wilkes-Barre. She later worked at a puzzle factory in Rochester, Monroe County, New York; the U.S. Radium Plant in Berwick, Columbia County, Pennsylvania; an Avon representative in Newark, New Castle County, Delaware; Wise Potato Chip Company in Berwick; and Consolidated Cigars in Berwick.
Frossine met William Charles Ezzyk at the skating rink in Wilkes-Barre. She paid for her wedding dress with pennies that she'd been saving in old coffee cans! They were married on May 28, 1949 at the Saints Cyril and Cecil Methodius Ukranian Church in Berwick. The couple raise a foster daughter as their own child. They also had many nieces, nephews, and Godchildren who considered them their second parents.
