Athina will be held dear in the hearts of many family, relatives, and friends.
Athina, born in the village Drenoveny (Kranionas) Greece, immigrated to Canada in October 1959 along with her two children Danny and Chrissa, to join her husband/dad Chris. She worked hard in many different jobs to give her family a good life. She loved taking care of her grandchildren and visiting with family and friends. One of her hardest times was taking care of her husband for many years, at home, when he fell ill. After that time, she really enjoyed her outings, meeting up with friends and relatives at various coffee places, parks and events. She was an avid seamstress, gardener, loved flowers and made the best pita, bread, pizza and cookies.
In memory of Athina, donations may be made to your charity of choice.
