She was lovingly known as Mom and Nana. She is predeceased by her parents Pauline Harkins (Lambert) and James E. Harkins and her husband Leonard Antinazi, Jr.
In 1956, Teresa married the love of her life, Leonard. Together they shared 62 years of marriage, a testament to their commitment to one another. Their home was built on love, faith, and steadfast support through life’s joys and challenges.
Teresa was a devoted mother to her three children: Joel Antinazi, Vivian Masters (Chris), and Tony Antinazi (Yvonne). She was a proud and loving grandmother to Shannon Wade (Chad), Michael Masters (Emily), Bryan Masters (Lissette), Patrick Masters, Ashton Antinazi, and Madison Antinazi, and a cherished great-grandmother to Cason Wade, Kinsley Wade, Amelia Masters and Zachary Masters. Her family was her greatest earthly blessing, and she thanked God often for each of them.
Teresa will be remembered for her gentle spirit, generous heart, and deep love for her family and friends. She found joy in gardening, cooking, sewing, crafting, but mostly spending time with and caring for her family.
Teresa trusted in the Lord throughout her life and took comfort in His promises. While her family grieves her passing, they rejoice in the assurance that she is now at peace and reunited with loved ones. Her love remains forever in the hearts of those who knew her.
