Antonia was born July 3, 1955 in Kansas City, MO to Ceferino and Manuela (Fuentes) Lozano. Even though this was a day before the Fourth, she was still a firecracker. She attended Our Lady of Guadalupe Grade School, Bishop Lillis High School (Class of ’73), Penn Valley and Avila College, graduating with a Bachelor’s in Business and Art. When Crown Center opened she was hired by Hallmark to work in different shops for over ten years before her health changed. She continued painting and showing her drawings. As she grew up, mom encouraged her to learn Mexican dances and perform in the fiestas at the Guadalupe Parish Center. This enhanced her love of her heritage.

She enjoyed going to concerts. Her favorite was Cyndi Lauper, Antonia tried to go every time she was in town. She also enjoyed George Lopez because of his humorous remarks about the Mexican culture. She also loved to watch the Kansas City Royals.

Antonia was preceded in death by her parents. She is survived by her sister Kathleen Roberts (Steven) of Kansas City, MO; her brother, Stephen J. Lozano, Sr. of Kansas City, KS; her ‘Godbrother’ Dr. Larry Howlett; a niece, Elizabeth Rynerson(Scott) a nephew, Stephen J. Lozano, Jr.; two great nieces, Meka and Ava Cruz Rynerson.
