Athena Kieff

Athena was born on a small island off the coast of Greece called Paros.  She moved to Athens when she was a young lady and worked for a tailor and learned how to become a seamstress.  It was in Athens that she lived when she met and married James Richard Kieff, after WWII in 1953.  In 1954, Athena moved permanently to the United States, where she became a citizen, an accomplishment of which she was very proud.  Athena was small in stature but large in heart and personality.  Nobody who ever met her, would ever forget her.
