Antoinette Ciuffini

Born in Italy, Antoinette made the courageous journey to America with her husband when she was just shy of 20 years old, traveling on the SS Andrea Doria.

Antoinette was known for her love of cooking, often filling her home with the delicious aromas of her Italian heritage. She enjoyed knitting and treasured the time spent with her children and grandchildren, creating a warm and nurturing family environment. Antoinette had a joyful spirit; she loved dancing and listening to Italian music, often bringing joy to family gatherings. Her adventurous spirit also led her to travel, exploring new places and cultures throughout her life.

She is survived by her beloved children: Roseann Zocchia, Maria Farrell, her children embraced from her second marriage: Maryanne Ciuffini, Diane White, and Thomas Ciuffini; her cherished grandchildren: Anthony, Christie, Brittany, Jonathan, Brooke, Courtney, Kelsey, and Janis; as well as her great-grandchildren: Andrew, Raina, Theo, Evelyn, Wyatt, Anders, and Domenick. Antoinette is also survived by her sister, Romana.

She is now reunited in heaven with mother and father Rosina and Antonino; her first and second husbands, Anthony Suppa and Domenick Ciuffini, as well as her siblings, Maria, Guglielmo, Nino, and Nicola.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to St. Judes Childrens Hospital, honoring her spirit of love and family.

Antoinette’s warmth and strength will be deeply missed by all who knew her, and her legacy will live on in the hearts of her family.
