Eleni Gage

Location: Section 97

Eleni (Gatzoyiannis) Ngagoyeanes (Gage) was executed in 1948 at the age of 40 by Communist guerillas in Northern Greece for arranging the escape of four of her five children who went to join their father Christos in Worcester. In 1982, her son Nicholas Gage published the best-selling book “Eleni” about her life and death. When their father Christos died in 1983, the Gage children brought their mother's remains here from their village of Lia in Greece to lie beside him.
