It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Antoinette Theresa Romano, a beloved mother, dedicated fourth-grade school teacher and cherished family matriarch. She passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family, on Wednesday.

Antoinette "Toni" was born in Syracuse and spent her life devoted to her family, her students, her colleagues, and her passions. As a teacher, she touched the lives of countless children with her kindness, teaching expertise, and unwavering dedication. Antoinette’s creativity shone through her love for music, especially playing the piano, singing, and her talent in art. Known for her strong spirit, she brought joy and energy to everyone around her.

A woman of kindness, Antoinette wished to be remembered for her caring nature and her ability to make others feel loved.

Antoinette was predeceased by her husband, Anthony Thomas Romano, with whom she shared a lifetime of love and companionship; and eight siblings.

Surviving are her sons, Dr. Thomas J. (Mary) Romano of Jamesville, Dr. Michael J. (Kelley) Romano of Liverpool, and Joseph A. (Lorie) Romano of Westport, CT; daughter, Laureen A. (William) Keegan of Baldwinsville; 16 grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren; sister-in-law, Mary Ann (Leonard) Chiarelli; and many nieces and nephews. Her family was her greatest joy and she shared her love, wisdom and humor with each of them.

Her love, kindness and creativity will live forever in the hearts of all who knew her. For this we are grateful.
