Kiki and her brother started working at an early age after the loss of their father. She graduated from Warren G. Harding High School in June 1952 and went on to do clerical work at the Ohio State Highway Patrol, GM Lordstown car assembly plant and for Packard Electric, from where she retired in 1992.
Kiki married the love of her life, John, on July 25, 1971. They were married for 25 years until his passing on Aug. 1, 1996.
Attending church was important to Kiki. She was a member of St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church in Warren and St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church in Youngstown, where she was a member of both church choirs for 60 years.
