Per Toni's wishes, the following is the obituary she wrote and instructed us to publish. She was very clear in her wishes that there not be any service or memorial, and we are honoring that request:

Antoinette (Toni) Pantelleria, 97, was married to Frank for 50 years. Cherished mother of Frank Pantell, deceased daughter-in-law Sheri, and granddaughters Katie and Angela. She had a special connection to her niece Tracy.

She was a long time member and officer of St. Zachary Altar & Rosary (Women's Club), weekly rosary devotion group, and Italian American Catholic Club.

She generously donated her body to the Anatomical Gift Association for use in medical science and research. As a remembrance for Toni, please do a good deed for someone. In lieu of a wake or service, there will be a private family gathering where memories of our beloved "Toto" will be shared.

Additionally, if you are looking for ways to contribute beyond a good deed, please consider a donation to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. Since there will not be a public service, Toni's family invites you to use the following link to share a story or memory about Toni and/or view other stories and memories shared by her friends and family.
