Her
life afterwards was marked by years of resistance. Through her
resistance and after the possession she met and married the
English officer John Pirson and moved in England. However she
couldn’t bear the “heavy” climate there so she returned in
Greece a few years later.
She
joined the Medical School in Thessalonica.
She
married the Greek officer Petro Fotopoulo.
She
was known as an animal lover and an active member of feministic
organisations.
Her
last years are connected with Milatos,
a village by the sea in
northern Crete, which she loved very much. She lived there till
she was “attacked” by the accursed illness, that meant the end
of her life. Kiveli never talked about the years of Resistance,
not even to her relatives or to any familiar person, she did so
only when she realised the end was coming. I had the honour to
meet her in the last years of her life and I know that she was
gone with a great complaint that Greek government didn’t
recognize her contribution in Resistance and in the National and
Liberal Fight. After making a personal research, I can say that
neither in Greece nor worldwide has lived a spy woman like her ,
having done so many and important achievements in the Second World
War.
