Sotera "Carmen" Krieg, 74 of Batesville, IN passed away Sunday, August 2, 2009 at University Hospital in Cincinnati, OH. The daughter of the late Cecilio De La Fuente and Maria Garcia De La Fuente was born November 9, 1934 in Valladolid, Spain. She married Robert Krieg in Baracaldo, Spain on August 16, 1961 and they moved together back to the United States. They met in Barcelona when Bob was on weekend leave to visit the 3 boats of the Christopher Columbus Expedition and he spotted her from the car. Their family laughed at hearing the story being told, as the rest is history. Carmen and her husband traveled to Spain many times over the years, as she missed and loved her family there very much. She enjoyed living in Spain, as well as in the US. One of her biggest hurdles was not speaking English, but she eventually learned the language and went on to assist with Spanish in the local schools. The devout Catholic was a homemaker and member of St. Johns Catholic Church in Enochsburg. Carmen was a wonderful wife and mother and will be missed very much. In addition to her husband, survivors include, two daughters and two sons, Angel Grunkemeyer of Greensburg, IN, Gary Krieg of Batesville, Connie (Roger) Gunter of Batesville and Mark Krieg of Brooklyn, NY; five grandchildren, Shannon, Jenna and Erik Gunter, Ryan Grunkemeyer and Colton Laudick. She is also survived by two sisters and one brother, Laura De La Fuente Rodriquez, Conchita De La Fuente and Florentino De La Fuente all of Spain.
