Antonia Lucia Schiavone

It is with great sadness that the family announce the passing of Antonia Lucia Schiavone on March 13,2021 at Mackenzie Health Hospital in Richmond Hill at the age of 61. Born January 28, 1960 in Foggia, Puglia, Italy. She is predeceased and now reunited with her adoring parents Otomario and Maria. Antonia is survived by her brother Michael and sister-in-law Joan.

Antonia emigrated to Canada in 1966 and in later years worked as a salesclerk, secretary at a law firm and would go on to become a teacher for over 30 years. She studied at Vaughan Road Collegiate Institute and graduated from Ryerson University and began teaching in 1986 at St. Joseph’s Morrow Park Catholic School. She would later transfer to Chaminade College School and would retire in 2016.
Antonia enjoyed her retirement by becoming a world traveler. She would go on to see beautiful places like Australia, China, Europe and everywhere in between.
She had a passion for teaching, movies, plays, concerts, theatre, shopping, bowling, tennis, swimming, weekend excursions but most of all Antonia was happiest when sharing her time with those closest to her. She loved to share her passions with her family, friends, and colleagues.

Antonia will be lovingly remembered by her Zia Sandra, Zio Narducci, Zia Lucia, Zia Olimpia, and will be dearly missed by her many cousins including Nicholas, Marisa, Tina, Mario, Anthony, Jennifer and Patrick.
She will be fondly remembered by all who knew her especially her closest friends, alumni, many students and colleagues.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Candian Cancer Society and to the Kidney Cancer Foundation may be made in Antonia’s honour.
