Mary (Agiakatiska) Atheneos entered into the kingdom of Heaven on Monday, March 14, 2022. She was born on March 3, 1924 in Plomari, Lesvos, Greece. Mary met her husband Peter Atheneos after being brought together by their parents. They married outdoors surrounded by family, friends, the Aegean Sea and the beautiful forest of olive trees. Peter and Mary Returned to the United States and started a life together, raising three sons. She started working for the First National Bakery for 20 years while taking care of her three sons and husband. Mom once told me, she was under the impression that once in the United States she would live in a nice home and take care of her three boys and husband, if she knew that she would work for 20 years in a bakery she would have stayed in Greece (with a smile). Mary was a proud woman, brave, smart, beautiful, with a peaceful soul. She taught us to be honest, fair, and kind to everyone (she also taught us to cook, sew, and iron). Mom sacrificed her life for her husband and children. Mom loved growing things and had a garden (a very big garden) up until she was 92 years old, planting, growing, harvesting and giving her famous tomatoes to her friends and family. I once came over to see her and she was pushing a wheelbarrow of dirt, at the age of 92 years old. She was never afraid of anything. Mary leaves behind her three sons; Jim Atheneos and wife Loretta of Farmington, John Atheneos of Newington and George Atheneos and wife Deborah of Nashville, Tennessee. Her grandchildren Courtney Fowlkes of Charlotte, North Carolina, Lisa Boyajian and Husband Tyler of Ashville North Carolina, Joshua Atheneos of Miami, Florida and Jim Atheneos Jr. of Farmington, as well as a sister, Irene Lagikatsis of Plomari, Lesvos, Greece.
