A woman of great faith and devotion towards her family and anyone she met. A compassionate woman who loved hard, cared for anyone that needed it and dedicated her entire life to her family. Antonina was an Elementary School teacher and Principal until she moved to the United States in 1996 from Moldova to be closer to her daughter (Nadya), Son in Law (Yevgeniy) and granddaughters Aleksandra and Olga. Over time the family grew larger to include a great-grandson Alexandre Philippe Morel (15), great-grandson Oliver Bennett Foster (12) and a great-granddaughter Katelyn Marie Foster (10). She had a lot of pride in her great-grandkids as they all excelled in academics and sports. Antonina loved to watch television, receive visits from friends and family and talk on the phone with her loved ones. She had a striking personality and loved to laugh, smile and garden any chance she got.
Her most fond moments included holidays and get togethers and the family often celebrated occasions over a large, loud dinner table complete with toasts, memories and conversations about the future. She also loved taking care of the blind children and invested a lot of time in working with those in need. When she retired from working with the blind, the children threw her an entire celebration fit for a Queen to commemorate her retirement and contributions.
Antonina is survived by her daughter (Nadya Yeremenko), Son in Law (Yevgeniy Yeremenko), granddaughters (Aleksandra Morel and Olga Foster), Son in Law (David Foster), great-grandkids Alexandre, Oliver and Katelyn.
