Devastated by the horrific accident that took place in Libya where the 40-year-old Cretan soldier and four other people lost their lives, the relatives of the unfortunate woman appear.

The news fell like a bolt of lightning as nobody can still believe that the Greek mission that went for humanitarian aid to Libya was involved in a traffic accident.

“We can’t believe what happened,” the 40-year-old’s cousin, who lives in Heraklion, told cretapost, saying that “the times are very difficult for all of us and we are trying to manage it.” He confirmed that the 40-year-old’s family had also mourned other victims as her brother had been killed in a car accident and her uncle was the heroic pilot who fell in the line of duty.

There may have been some initial confusion regarding the information coming from Libya regarding the road accident and informing the citizens but fortunately, the family of the 40-year-old learned of her tragic death from the Staff. “We were informed about this tragic event by the Staff”, emphasized the 40-year-old’s cousin.

Her funeral in Athens

The funeral of the 40-year-old is expected to take place in Athens, according to what her cousin reported to cretapost. “My cousin lived and was active in Athens, and her funeral will be held there,” he said in a broken heart, while her relatives are already preparing to go up to the capital to pay her last respects.

He got married a few months ago

The 40-year-old – originally from Crete – has been serving in the Armed Forces for several years, specifically in the Air Force as a nurse in the 251 GNA while living and working in Athens. It is worth noting that he got married only a short time ago. More specifically, she had married her lover last July.

Her creepy post about how she chose to be in the military

A few years ago, in her post, she answered everyone who asked her how she chose to enlist in the Air Force.

As she stated the reason was her uncle who was a pilot who died heroically in the line of duty.

Her uncle was the well-known Vassilis Andreadakis, who on May 23 while flying over Lamia, the boat broke down. While the control tower tells him to abandon the craft he, seeing that if he did so the aircraft would crash into the city of Lamia, he refused and piloted it out of the city, tragically dying in the crash.

In fact, she says in her post: “When asked why I chose the Air Force, I always answer that I was destined to serve it before I was even born… A great man, like my late uncle, nurtures you with high ideals not only with his virtuous life , but mainly with the “graceful death” that he chooses…!
