PAPCUNIK – Antoinette “Toni”, 62, Sidman, went to be with her Lord, peacefully in her sleep February 19, 2019, at home. Born January 10, 1957, in Johnstown, daughter of Elio and the late Beatrice “Betty” (Vettori) Lucci.
Survived by father, of Ehrenfeld; loving husband of 42 years, Raymond Papcunik, whom she married May 22, 1976; children, Raymond, married to Brooke (Martinage), Windber; Lyndsey, wife of Denon Carpenter, Salix, Chad, Sidman; and Jason, married to Christa (Roth), Cranberry; beloved grandchildren, Alexa, Mya and Julia Papcunik; Kaden, Isabella, Isaac and Kye Carpenter; and Lilly and Luca Papcunik; sisters, Deborah, wife of Anthony Scarton, Portage; Sandra, wife of Lee George, Portage; and Jacqueline, wife of Robert Butterworth, Northern Cambria; numerous nieces and nephews; and dear sister in the Lord, Wendy Boyd.
Toni was a graduate of Forest Hills High School, class of 1974. She had a loving and gentle spirit and found joy in giving of herself. Celebrations and family gatherings were always made special by her amazing efforts to prepare wonderful meals. It brought her joy to watch her children reach their accomplishments and experience happiness but her greatest desire was to know that her children and grandchildren are walking with the Lord. Through faith in Christ she bore the suffering of Parkinson’s with grace and humility. For in her heart she knew God’s word to be trustworthy and true: “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” Romans 8:18.
Friends will be received from 3 p.m. until Celebration of Life Service at 7 p.m. Friday at Parkview Alliance Church, St. Michael, the Reverend Patrick Walsh presiding.
