My Story

Lifelong Alaskan Athena Kouey (Vanderpool) Wittenkeller, 27, died Feb. 13, 2008, at Providence Alaska Medical Center. She was encircled by her family and friends. Her family wrote that she was a mother, daughter, sister, niece, auntie, cousin and friend who passed from this physical world to "continue her eternal journey through time and space."
Visitation will be from 1 to 3 p.m. today at Anchorage Funeral Home. A funeral will take place later in McGrath.
Athena was born May 5, 1980, in Anchorage, first daughter and fourth of six children. She had lived in Northway, McGrath and Anchorage. She graduated from McGrath School in 1998, living there until 2005, when she moved to Anchorage and began employment with Assets Inc. as a human resources assistant. She then obtained a job with Doyon Ltd. Human Resources as a human resources assistant.
Her family wrote: "Athena was not much of a morning person; she very much enjoyed spending hours in bed or on the couch, staying up late with the most recent movies or her favorite TV shows or getting lost for hours on end in a good book. Athena loved to play bingo, going out to movies, making wine, a fun girl's night out of dancing and laughing, and vacations, especially to Las Vegas and Laughlin for the slot tournaments with her 'Auntie Mom.'
"In McGrath (the place she called home), she enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, hanging out at bonfires, and playing basketball. She loved her time away from the city.
"Athena had a gentle, caring, beautiful spirit and a wonderful ability to touch the people closest to her. She had a warm, charming smile and a kind heart. Athena was strong and free. Her outlook on life was laid back; everything was going to be okay. Athena is loved by all. There are no words to express how greatly she will be missed."
She is survived by her daughters, Kalena Athena and Desiree Rose; parents, James and MaryJane; siblings, Gregory J., Jeremiah E., Zebulon J., Tonya V. and Jerad James; many close family and friends; and husband, Joseph.
