Antoinette was a lively, intelligent, and giving mother, grandmother, and friend. Toni was a talented salesperson at Horne's for nearly 40 years. Once retired, she was dedicated to her community by delivering Meals on Wheels, helping neighbors with projects, and playing in numerous card clubs over the years, always ensuring everyone had a ride and a meal. In her youth, she was a basketball player and later a committed fan of the Steelers and her grandchildren's sports teams. She loved listening to the radio, sewing, baking, and beating everyone in cards, crosswords, and Scrabble. In addition, she was a voracious reader. Antoinette was always the one who called to check on you, share a witty line, and the one with the biggest heart. Toni touched the lives of everyone she met, and she will be missed beyond measure. In lieu of flowers, the family requests you kindly donate to Meals on Wheels of Southwestern PA.
