REMEMBERING EVA
‘Founding mother’ remembered Following the death of Sandy Springs’ “founding mother” and first Mayor Eva Galambos on April 19 at age 87, friends, family and fans remembered her as a strong, committed woman who changed history. She and her family fled Nazi Germany and then Fascist Italy to end up in Georgia. Once settled in the Atlanta suburbs, Galambos spent more than a quarter century convincing state lawmakers to allow her suburban community to become a city.
She had a sense of humor, too. Saying she was often told Sandy Springs would be allowed to have its own government only “when pigs can fly,” she decorated her office in City Hall with images of flying pigs. “If we’d never had Eva, we’d probably never had a city of Sandy Springs,” said Sandy Springs City Attorney and state Rep. Wendell Willard, a long-time friend of the former mayor’s and the city attorney. “Thank God we had Eva.”

“My favorite part about living here is the flexibility to be as active and sociable as I want!” Meet Christie Kinsaul, who moved to Canterbury Court to downsize and simplify her life. Little did she know how much she would love her new lifestyle. “Maintaining a two-story townhouse and everything in it was taking considerable time and effort. I was ready for some changes, and I wanted to make the move on my own terms.” Christie didn’t expect to find such luxurious living in a one-bedroom apartment, which she says “is plenty big” and comes with full services and amenities. She was also delighted to discover an abundance of activities designed for resident interests, including outings to local events. As a retired music teacher, she’s especially fond of going to the Atlanta Symphony and the opera. Along with more flexibility to spend her time as she chooses, Christie’s move to Canterbury Court has given her peace of mind knowing that on-site health services are available, should she ever need them.
