Celebrating Elizabeth Burr Papastravos ’49 and a Lasting WFS Connection
A recent family gathering honored Elizabeth Burr Papastravos '49 on her 95th birthday!
Seated at the center is Elizabeth, with her daughter, Christina Papastravos Fay '76, to her left. Also pictured are Christina's daughters, Hannah Fay Waguespack (third from the right) and Kelly Fay (fourth from the left), who each attended Wilmington Friends for a year following Hurricane Katrina. Today, Hannah holds a Ph.D. in neuroscience and Kelly is an interior designer in Atlanta. Christina recently retired after a career practicing law and is enjoying her six grandsons! We're honored to have been a small part of this family's story across three generations.
Please join us in wishing Elizabeth a very happy 95th birthday!
