She had received her first breast cancer diagnosis in 2017 at the same time her now late father was battling lung cancer. “They wanted to do a lumpectomy at first, but I really didn’t want to have to face this again, so I had a double mastectomy,” she said. The mother of two sons, Reed Woods, 18, and Kurt Woods, 16, Keene said nowadays she stays busy being present with her family and with her first love – art.

“The restaurant business, for me, was very tough if you weren’t present,” she said. “Keeping the staff and everybody where they needed to be was just too hard to do remotely.” “It’s been amazing to help her do this,” he said. “The cafe is something that really means a lot to her and to us.”
