Antoinette was affectionately dubbed “Aunt Baby” by her numerous nieces and nephews, a nickname she proudly embraced.

Antoinette will always be remembered for her love of family, warmth, and sense of humor.  She loved reading magazines and keeping up with fashion trends and current events.  She enjoyed crafting and decorating.  She was an avid gardener, and her home was her pride and joy.

Antoinette had a soft spot for furry friends, treating each and every one like the valuable family members they were.  She also cared for neighborhood strays, further extending her circle of warmth and compassion to them.

  
Antoinette was passionate about her jobs as a stenographer for the Navy, assistant manager at Hallmark, and her role in the Healthcare field as a receptionist/medical
assistant for HIP where she proudly worked for nearly 20 years.  

We couldn’t have asked for a better parent/grandparent/great-grandparent, and we will miss her every day. Her memory will live on in the hearts of all those who loved her. Her spirit will forever shine through and her love will continue to guide and illuminate our path.

The family would like to extend their sincere gratitude to her constant caregiver companions, Grace and Annette, for their compassionate care , dedication, and unwavering commitment,  enabling her to remain at home for the vast duration of her illness. We are so grateful.
