Athena Thomas

Born on July 26th, 2015, Athena instantly became a shining light for those who cared for her. She was a German Shepherd by breed and the most loyal companion. Her energy, devotion, and obedience were the most valued aspects of her character.

As a pup, Athena participated in training courses, which inspired her owner, Makena Thomas, to become a dog trainer by trade. This experience further built a remarkable bond between them.

Athena’s favorite adventures were exploring the river banks of the Cheat and hiking with Makena and her friends. Athena loved anything she could carry in her mouth, especially rocks and tree branches. Athena’s favorite spot to lounge was in the barnyard and her best furry friends included Diesel, Bear, and Ruger. Athena certainly left her mark on many lives and there will never be a comparable companion and friend.

Athena passed from this life on December 15th, 2023 with Makena by her side. A special thank you to Athena’s Grams and Pap, Kristin and Kevin Thomas, and her loyal friends Nicole Dias and Seth Spahr for loving and caring for Athena throughout her beautiful life. Also, thank you to Ethan Bolyard for aiding Athena in her final, difficult days and Almost Heaven Pet Cremations for cremating her.
