[music] Athena Presley Monroe Strand was born in 2015 to two loving parents, Maitland and Jacob.
She was just naturally perfect and was such a precious little baby.Beyond her parents, Athena was surrounded by an even bigger, loving extended family, including sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents who just absolutely adored her.
Athena's mom, Maitland, described Athena in depth, saying that Athena's favorite color is pink.
She loved jewelry and all things shiny, and her favorite fast food joint was McDonald's.
She would apparently eat there three times a day every day if mommy and daddy had allowed it.
She loves all people, and Athena really loves makeup and doing her mom and sister's makeup.
Athena goes crazy for candy and sweets and loves swimming and jumping off diving boards and just being outdoors.
She loves her two baby sisters with all that she has, and she's apparently such a good big sister.
Athena also has the best laugh, and she apparently just thinks that farts are hilarious, according to her mom.
Although Athena's parents split up when Athena was younger, they have an amicable relationship and are very good co-parents.
Athena was living with her dad for a few months while her mom was handling some medical things, and she was set to go back and live with her mom in December of 2022.
It's an extremely small town that has a lot of farmland, cow pastures, and many people live on an acre or more, so it's not uncommon for houses to be very far away from each other.
