Antoinette Marie Galizia Favata, passed peacefully on March 7, 2015, in West Palm Beach, Florida, surrounded by her loving family. She was 92.

Rolph ( Larry), Cheron M. Camacho and Lucien R. Favata, Jr. ( Dawn). Mrs. Favata was also survived by her sisters, Michelina Margaret Stakenas and Belle Krasnansky, who also passed in May; by her grandchildren, Alicia Gattenio (Jack), Brett Buzzatto (Melissa), Tiffany Alexander, Esquire ( Steven), Michael Ross Favata and Meredith Fields ( Christopher) and step- grandchildren, Katharine Rufe, Kristin (Matthew) McGee, and Amy Rufe; by her great grandchildren, Casey Jack, Brooke and Jack Gattenio, Vivian Buzzatto, Elizabeth and Christina Alexander, Nathaniel Fields, Quinn Aleardi, and Emerson and McKenna McGee;   and by many nieces and nephews.

To all who knew her, she was a most warm, generous and loving person with the ability to give comfort to those in need.

A native of Bristol Borough, valedictorian of her graduating class, Antoinette studied voice and opera. An accomplished singer, she performed on radio and later as soloist in St. Anne's Church choir in Bristol for many years. She also rose to become the Executive Secretary to the President of RCA in Princeton, NJ. She and her husband retired to Florida in 1982. Years later she returned to Bucks County, residing with her daughter and son-in-law in Newtown and spending long winters in Florida with her son and daughter-in-law. Her entire life was devoted to family, and her happiest moments, of which there were many, were spent with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

 A Mass of Christian Burial was held at Our Lady Queen of the Apostles Church in Royal Palm Beach, FL. She was laid to rest along side her husband Lucien at Queen of the Universe Cemetery. A Memorial Prayer Service will be held at The Olde Church of Saint Andrew, 135 S. Sycamore Street, Newtown, PA 18940 on July 11, 2015 at 2PM. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations in Antoinette's name to Trust Bridge Hospice of the Palm Beaches, 5300 East Ave., West Palm Beach FL, 33407 or to a charity of your preference.
