She came to the United States in 1971. She escaped a socialist country with Tamas Nagy, and a small suitcase and came to America for a new life and a new adventure. Where she built a beautiful life and raised four children.
With an entrepreneurial spirit, she opened a Hungarian bakery in the Candler Park area of Atlanta, which she ran for ten years. She started her business at age 65 and ran it until age 75. Her bakery was not just a business but a beloved gathering place for the community.
