Antoneta was born on March 6th, 1946, to the late George and Nica Merdita in the former Yugoslavia. In 1972, Krist and Antoneta packed up their family and moved to the United States. They eventually ended up in Cleveland. Antoneta worked for Cleveland Temptcraft until she retired. She enjoyed traveling, camping, cooking, playing games on her tablet, and spending time with her grandchildren. Throughout her life, she embodied grace and resilience in the face of adversity, always emanating a sense of warmth and compassion that endeared her to all. That and her cooking. Her legacy of love, and the recipes she shared, will always be remembered and cherished. As we say goodbye, we take comfort in the beautiful memories she left behind. She will be missed.
