From her mother, she inherited a rich treasure trove of songs, a love of singing and an excellent voice, which she made public through the folk singing group. She believes in the power of belonging and in the preservation of the work of those who work to preserve our traditions. Even today, she helps her narrower and wider community with her advice and her own creations - poems, handicrafts. ; As her birthday approaches, I wish her good health, joyful, active years, and thank her for the years she has spent with me/us so far. ; ; Interviewed by: Katalin Kiss, leader of the folk singing group, in January 2016, in Nagyabony.
