elevated snZWd Antonietta “Babie” Antonio loved Christmas more than any other holiday, so it seems fitting that she decided to make her heavenly journey two days after December 25. At the age of 82, she passed away on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, in Toronto, Canada.
elevated snZWd In spite of everything, I believe that my Mom’s departure from this world at Christmastime was most unexpected, a rare and wonderful act of self-love. She hated to be a burden and would never want to spoil Christmas for anyone, so she waited a few days and then slipped away during her favourite time of the year.
elevated snZWd Her memory will forever and indelibly be associated with the sacred and magical spirit of Christmas, which she embodied every day of her life.
elevated snZWd On June 13, 1941, the sky was a canvas of stars, and one shone brighter than the rest, announcing the arrival of a precious and radiant soul.
elevated snZWd Antonietta was born to Adoracion and Juan Pono, in Pinamungahan, Cebu, Philippines, where she grew up in a very strict and devout Catholic family. She was preceded in death by her older sister, Leticia, and is survived by her younger brother, John, of Palm Coast, Florida.
elevated snZWd She was the stunning and saintly wife of Rolando — who was lucky and blessed to have her, and the cherished and adored mother of Wilmer, Maria Gladys and Noel.
elevated snZWd According to her brother Johnny, my mother was very bossy. She had incredible zest and passion for life, and boundless energy, even as a child.
elevated snZWd She loved to climb coconut trees — sans shoes or any safety gear.
elevated snZWd One of her earliest hobbies was crochet, which she passed down to me, and which she learned from her mother. As a dutiful and resourceful daughter, she spent her after-school hours unravelling cotton string from bags of rice and concrete mix that her mother would crochet into delicate lace doilies and tablecloths.
elevated snZWd Antonietta was a bright, conscientious student who earned a full scholarship to study chemical engineering at CIT, Cebu Institute of Technology. She was one of the few women in her field at the time, and she paved the way for many others to follow.
elevated snZWd In 1964, for better or worse, she married my father, Rolando Antonio, a fellow engineering student. They shared 59 years of marriage and three amazing, beautiful and humble children.
elevated snZWd In 1967, she followed my Dad to Toronto, Canada, gathering her young family and embarking on a journey to a brighter future. My older brother, Wil, and I were mere babies, aged two and one. My Mom told me she cried every night for two years, missing her family, and sunny and tropical homeland.
elevated snZWd She dedicated herself to being a supportive, nurturing wife and mother, with two little ones in her arms and Noel on the way. As a stay-at-home mother of three, she also worked part time at Safeway, The Bay, and as a substitute teacher with the Toronto Catholic School Board. She later became a successful real estate agent and broker with Caldwell Banker and Right At Home Realty.
elevated snZWd She was an unusually generous and compassionate guide for many new Filipino immigrants who sought her expertise and trust in finding homes, which were beyond their reach without her assistance.
elevated snZWd For fun and personal development, my Mom studied Income Tax at H&R Block, and aced her exams so impressively that they offered her a job.
elevated snZWd Beyond her stellar résumé, which she never boasted about, Antonietta had many passions in life: babies and small children, religious pilgrimages, exotic travel, luxury cruises, Broadway musicals, even slot machines and pungent French cheeses.
elevated snZWd Yes, yes. My very pious Mom had no qualms about plunking down $50 on a small but exquisite slab of Roquefort, her preferred cheese.
elevated snZWd And she had a not-so-secret love affair with the one-armed bandit. I will always treasure the memories of our mother-daughter escapades at Fallsview in Niagara, and in Las Vegas, where she pampered us with a luxurious stay at the Bellagio Casino Hotel.
elevated snZWd My Mother was crazy about gardening. She was a green thumb and flower fairy, who brought back to life many of my dying orchids and bonsai. My parents’ house was a jungle of plants and flowers, occupying every corner and crevice. Anyone who dropped by unannounced would have been stunned by the sight of her botanical paradise.
elevated snZWd She had a fondness for jade, aloe vera — all manner of succulents, as well as snake plants, philodendrons, and any plant with large, glossy, heart-shaped leaves. They were everywhere, not just on the window sills in the living room, but on every floor, on the marble countertops in the den with the fireplace and bar, and even in the bathtub and shower.
elevated snZWd Several times, she won the Scarborough Blooms annual contest for her beautiful front yard, adorned with statues of the Blessed Virgin, Saint Francis of Assisi, angels and a Japanese pagoda.
elevated snZWd Her favourite flower was the “Sampaguita,” also known as jasmine — and not because it was the official flower of the Philippines. She especially loved the nocturnal variety, which had tiny white buds that opened their petals and released their intense perfume only after the sun had set. I think my Mom loved the metaphor, aspiring to be like a little flower that bloomed only in the dark, at night.
elevated snZWd Antonietta was an extremely devout Catholic who could have been a lay nun. She attended mass and received communion twice a day for many decades.
elevated snZWd She was a mighty but modest pillar of Precious Blood church, where she served on various liturgical committees and helped organize annual events, such as the Fall Fair and International Night. Father Bob O’Brien praised her as “community-dedicated,” saying that she was always feet first and part of the glue that held the church community together.
elevated snZWd She left behind a legacy on the Decorating Committee, as her design of two Christmas trees and lights, the outdoor nativity, red and white Poinsettias, and other elements, is still the template used today.
elevated snZWd For forty years, my Mom was a dynamo in The Legion of Mary, performing all four roles of a lay Legionnaire Officer: Secretary, Treasurer, Vice-President and President (six years each). She attained the highest level of active Legion membership — Praetorian, which does not denote higher status or rank but rather a desire for a more devotional life.
elevated snZWd She performed various Works of Consolation, accompanying Archbishop Larry Saldanha and other priests, visiting and comforting the sick, the elderly, the prisoners, and the dying. Every first Friday of the month, she helped give Communion to 15 to 20 households, residents at Scarborough General Hospital and several nursing homes in Scarborough (Rockwell, Wexford, Providence Villa), as well as prison institutions in Milton.
elevated snZWd Together with Sister Portia Arriola, she also brought the Blessed Virgin statue to a different home every week, praying the rosary. Rain or shine.
elevated snZWd She and Sister Jeanette D’Souza brought the Junior Legion to Precious Blood. Together with Sister Portia and a humble male auxiliary member, my Mom prepared the Rosary making kits. She sourced the beads, buying them in Philadelphia. She was in charge of ordering and distributing the Maria Legionis magazine.
elevated snZWd Antonietta was a founding coordinator of the Immaculate Conception Novena Group Two, the first offshoot of the original Novena group established by Attorney Cipriano Rey Hipolito & Doctor Pacita Rey Hipolito in 1977. She and my Dad were fervent advocates of the devotion to the Immaculate Conception among the Filipino community in Toronto. My Mom spearheaded the formation of Group Two to accommodate more devotees who wished to join the annual Novena and potluck dinner, which culminated on December 8, the Feast of The Immaculate Conception.
elevated snZWd One of her fellow Legionnaires told me a story of Antonietta the miracle worker. She said that once when she was down and out, about 15 years ago, unemployed and broke, my Mom approached her, selling raffle tickets for her church fundraiser. She sold her the last ticket she had for one dollar. A few days later, she got a call from the Precious Blood office, informing her that she had won $200.
elevated snZWd Indeed, my mother could also turn water into wine.
elevated snZWd Beyond her regular spiritual activities, Antonietta performed many hidden acts of charity, much to the dismay of my father.
elevated snZWd —————————————————————
elevated snZWd Mom, you taught me so many things: that it is better to be kind than to be right, to suffer with grace, and to approach the uphills in life as opportunities to learn, grow, and build muscle.
elevated snZWd I am deeply grateful to have you as my Mother — Pure Light & Rainbows: supportive, nurturing, and unconditional in your love. You will forever be my precious Guardian Angel and Fairy Godmother.
elevated snZWd Antonietta’s message for us all:
elevated snZWd Make every day Christmas: merry, festive & bright.
Strive to be the very best version of yourself — not just at Christmastime, but all year round.
elevated snZWd Spread the Spirit of Christmas wherever you may go: with magic and sparkle, good cheer, good will, generosity, and kindness, always.
elevated snZWd May the soul of Antonietta, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
elevated snZWd I love you, Mom.
elevated snZWd Antonietta is survived by her husband, three children, and grandsons Daniel Christian, Justin, Nolan, Lucas, Leonides, Lenox and Logan. Pre-deceased by Rya, our Golden Retriever.
elevated snZWd Confer, O Lord, on us, who serve beneath the standard of Mary, that fullness of faith in You and trust in her, to which it is given to conquer the world.
elevated snZWd Grant us a lively faith, animated by charity, which will enable us to perform all our actions from the motive of pure love of You, and ever to see You and serve You in our neighbour; a faith, firm and immovable as a rock, through which we shall rest tranquil and steadfast amid the crosses, toils and disappointments of life; a courageous faith which will inspire us to undertake and carry out without hesitation great things for your glory and for the salvation of souls; a faith which will be our Legion’s Pillar of Fire – to lead us forth united – to kindle everywhere the fires of divine love – to enlighten those who are in darkness and in the shadow of death – to inflame those who are lukewarm – to bring back life to those who are dead in sin; and which will guide our own feet in the way of peace; so that – the battle of life over – our Legion may reassemble, without the loss of any one, in the kingdom of Your love and glory. Amen.
Our sincere condolences to the whole Antonio family
Tita Babie, you will always be in our hearts. You have always lived your life following God’s will. He has called you back home where you will be re-united with Lolo Wanting and Lola Inday and with Nanay Letty. We will miss you. Rest in peace.🙏🏽
Our thoughts & prayers are with the Antonio Family. Eternal rest grant unto the departed soul of Antoinetta Antonio, Oh Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace. Amen🙏
You will be missed Tita Babie. Your generosity and kindness live on. You inspired us to be honest, humble and faithful. You always made me laugh on our long conversations. Thanks for the memories. Our heartfelt condolences to the whole family. She is now in heaven looking down on all of us. Rest in peace our sweet angel🙏
Babie, your zest for life, your sweet smile, kind soul, giving character and beautifully contagious laugh are just a few of the amazing things about you that you’ll be remembered for. The list is endless. We feel so blessed to have met you in Canada in the 70’s so the kids could all play together and we could form and nurture friendships with other Filipinos who had immigrated to Toronto, and that would last a lifetime. Our sincerest condolences to the Antonio family and extended family. God bless. Rest in peace 🙏🏽 ♥︎🕊️
May the light of our Lord shine upon you as you enter Heaven. Thank you for all the great work and blessings you gave while on earth.
Our deepest condolences to Antonio family . Eternal Light Grant unto Antonietta . May you Rest in Peace.
From : Miriam and Portia
May memories console you and bring you strength in the days to come. Dear Maria, your mom has done a lot of good things & apostolate works, not only for us but for many. Like a descendant of Mother Theresa.
I shared wonderful friendships with the Antonio children in my youth. I will always remember her grace, immeasurable kindness and love that she showed everyone. May God’s Eternal Light Shine Upon Her. Rest in peace. ✝️ 🕊️
– Ariel Lim
My condolences to you all. My parents loved all the Antonios and valued Tita Babie and Tito Roly’s friendship and loyalty to the end. Praying for peace and comfort.
Our heartfelt condolences to you and your family. Babie was an amazing woman and lived a remarkable life. I met her in Renée and Ruel’s house in Brooklyn and knew she was a great person. I’m sure she’s now resting in the loving arms of GOD.
When I met Sister Antoniette for the first time, I was going through a very sad moment in my life. I did not know what to do and I thought everything was lost for me in this country, in this world. No future, only disappointment for myself and for my mother, and the rest of my family back home.
Then Sister Antoniette did everything that someone could do to save someone else in that situation.
Mama Mary, through the Legion of Mary and Sister Antoniette Antonio, lifted me out of the sadness and pain I was immersed in and gave me the strength and power to be reborn for a new life.
That’s why I will never forget this marvelous woman, her goodness as a friend, mother, wife, and sister in union with Mary. God called her now to give her the best place in heaven.
Rest in the Peace of God, beloved Sister Mom.
Dear Maria, The kids and I met up with your mother briefly on June 12, 2016. We were attending a birthday party at North Toronto Memorial Community Centre for my niece’s daughter’s sixth birthday. Your mom came to meet us there for a short visit. She held James’s hand with me to get something out of her car on her way home, and she gave him a box of fruit snacks. We met you afterwards in the parking lot of Kelseys @Warden and Eglinton. I was not sure why she came out to meet us but she did, and was ever so nice to my kids.
Your mother was also my real estate agent, selling my house in Brampton before I officially moved to the French Riviera. She made the process smooth.
On your behalf as a gesture of sympathy, she paid her respects to my Mom at her funeral.
To Ate Babie,
I am really grateful to you for bringing Chit and me in the Immaculate Conception Group Two family. It made us closer to Our Mother Mary. Yes, we pray the Rosary and go to church but doing the yearly Novena of the Immaculate Conception made me feel a deeper connection with Mary Our Mother and to Almighty God. You will always be in our hearts and minds and prayers.
Meriam & Chit
Dear Maria, I know your mom is always watching us, smiling, as lovely as she was. Forever grateful to your mom for all her kindness, for the love and care she showed to us. To Tiya Babie, thank you for everything, I really can’t forget you, Tiya Babie.
I love you.

I love you.
Hi, Ma. Gladys. We are neighbours of your parents. Actually, it was your Mom who found this house for us. She was an exceptional real estate agent. Selling and buying a house does not end there. She extends her help for anything you need, like electrician, cleaners, gardener, plumber, etc., including financing. You cannot find that with any other real estate agent.
Your Mom, Babie Antonio, has a beautiful soul. I agree when you said she could be a lay nun. She was very active in many religious activities.
I miss hearing Babie’s voice on the phone, I miss our conversations and her visits to our house, our visits to their house, and meet ups. She was a truly good friend and adviser. Tita MF
Please accept my sincere condolences to you and your family. I’m so sorry for your geat loss, dear Maria. May Father in heaven rest her sacred soul and she find eternal bliss and excellent happiness. She loves you so much I know. And I know how You love her.
My dear cousin Maria, we booked time off from work, as we really wanted to attend your Mom’s funeral. We saw the public invitation & funeral arrangements on Facebook for those who wanted to pay their respects in person. It’s only right that as humble and selfless as she was, always offering help, kindness, generosity, and apostolic works she extended to many people, we could not afford to miss attending her funeral, for our last look, and to pay our respects to your Mom.
We saw how the chapel filled with many people who, like us, love your very good Mom. DC
Happy Valentine’s Day in Heaven, Mom! I cherish and love you forever and ever. ♥️
Babie had always been a strong pillar in the propagation of the devotion to the Immaculate Conception. IC Group Two was the first branch off of the original novena group founded by my parents, Attorney Cip Rey Hipolito and Dr. Pacita Rey Hipolito in 1977.
As the devotees crammed into our little house on Ellesmere during the yearly novena, it was Babie who requested my parents whether she could branch off to a new group in the hope of including all other devotees who wished to join the yearly novena. My Mom brought in another image of the Immaculate Conception from the Philippines and Group Two was established.
Group Two quickly flourished under the helm of Babie Antonio (with the assistance of Vi and Robert Lacho). Group Two branched off again with Betty and Gene Manago as coordinators, together with Betty Apolonio and so on. We have a long history to go back to. Approaching its 47th year next year, the IC Group has certainly flourished. May the Blessed Mother continue to bless our community of devotees with genuine dedicated members who share the same goal. I still remember how Babie and Roly completed their novena schedule one week after December 8, sometimes earlier!
Babie and Vi passed on their dedication and devotion to their successors, the Manalo sisters (Evelyn, Sophie and Luz) as well as Meriam de la Cruz and Chit Guinto who took over willingly. Babie remained active in the novena activities while overseeing the turnover to her successors with love and affection until she could no longer do so.
We will surely miss Babie Antonio but her memory will be forever instilled in our hearts.
To Roly & family, your Immaculate Conception family conveys our deepest condolences. Rest assured that Babie’s memory will be with us forever.
Dear Maria Gladys,
I just saw the sad news of the death of your dear Mother, Antonietta, in December. I wish to convey my deep sympathies to you, and condolences to Roly and the family.
Your Mom was a dear and extra pious soul. She was active in the Legion of Mary and other works. She worked with me on Legion visits and Services.
We thank God for her loving and generous life. May He reward her with abundant blessings in Heaven
Dear Antonietta, may you Rest In Peace ! R I P
Archbishop Larry Saldanha
Dear Ma. Gladys,
I have so many nice things, beautiful things to say about your Mom.
Your Mom was the one who helped us buy our first house, which was a big help to us. Your parents were one of our very first friends in Toronto.
Your Mom introduced us to the Immaculate Conception group, which brought us closer to our Lady.
Babie is always there when you need her or need something, always there to give a helping hand.
Your Mom is one person who will be hard to forget. I love your Mom.
Tita Vi
There are some that, especially within our busy lives, are a welcome gift. With her kindness and generosity, Mrs. Antonio was one such person; she was helpful, caring and made us feel heard and valued. These simple acts inspired us to, in a way, try to better ourselves and emulate them. I will keep these memories from someone who helped without expecting anything in return, just because she had a big heart.
Happy International Women’s Day, Mom!
You are the woman who loves and inspires me like no other. Today, and everyday, I remember and honour you for being a shining example of Faith, Kindness, and Heroic Virtue.
And I know that, like Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, you will continue to spread joy, goodness and grace, and “let fall a shower of roses, spending your heaven doing good upon earth.”
I love you! Daniel & Honda also say, “Happy International Women’s Day, Lola!”
To Mom in the Heavenly realms so high,
On Easter morn, we cast our sigh.
With daffodils of golden hue,
Chocolate eggs and bunnies, too.
Daniel, Honda, join in love,
Sending wishes to our favourite angel above.
In this time of hope’s bright song,
Your memory — and smile, they still live on.
We miss you more than words can tell,
In every silent, prayerful knell.
Yet love’s strong bond can never sever,
Mom, you’re in our hearts forever.
💝🐣🌞🐶🧚🏻♀️🌷✨
Hey Maria! I am very sorry about your Mother. May God place her soul in paradise! 🤍🤍🤍 I know that must be hard for you but be happy for her that she founded eternal peace! 😇❤ Love you
Sorry I never told you all I wanted to say,
Now it’s too late, Mom, for you’ve flown away.
Never had I imagined life without your smile,
Now you’re a heavenly beacon across light years and miles.
You’re soaring free, and I’m letting you fly,
Your motherly love, in my heart and soul, will never die.
Here’s to you, Mom, on this Mother’s Day,
Our bond, special and timeless, will never fray.
And although you’ve departed to a place afar,
I know we’ll reunite beneath the same bright star.
One sweet day…
Together, forever, one sweet day.
I love you, Mom. Daniel & Honda, too. 💜
Happy birthday, Mom. You are forever loved, adored and cherished. 💜
Happy Thanksgiving to my favourite Angel. Your Love and Example will always be my North Star. Forever and always, I’m deeply grateful for you, Mom. P.S. Daniel & Honda say, “Hi Lola!”
Dieu la Mère et Dieu le Père,
En ce jour de la Toussaint, où le voile entre les mondes se fait plus mince, nous vous rendons grâce pour la communion des saints qui nous unit au-delà du temps et de l’espace. Nous célébrons la mémoire de tous ceux qui ont vécu dans la foi, connus et inconnus, et qui partagent désormais la lumière de votre Royaume.
Nous vous honorons tout particulièrement, Dieu Tout-Puissant et Éternel, pour tous les saints, et en particulier pour ma chère maman, Antonietta, qui a triomphé dans la foi et repose maintenant dans votre paix.
Par leur intercession, nous vous demandons la force de témoigner de votre amour et de votre vérité. Accordez-nous la persévérance dans la foi, face à toutes les épreuves que nous pouvons rencontrer.
Nous vous prions avec ferveur pour l’âme de ma maman, afin qu’elle repose en paix et jouisse de la joie éternelle de votre présence. En ce jour où les liens entre le ciel et la terre se resserrent, nous vous supplions de nous permettre de sentir sa présence à nos côtés; je vous supplie de me permettre de me connecter avec ma maman dès maintenant.
Que cette communion des saints nous rappelle que nous ne sommes jamais seuls. Que ce lien invisible nous unisse à tous ceux qui nous ont précédés et à ceux qui nous suivront, afin que nous vivions dans une espérance solidaire, reflétant votre amour infini pour chaque créature.
Nous vous prions, Dieu la Mère et Dieu le Père, de nous faire des témoins vivants de votre grâce. Donnez-nous la force de suivre l’exemple des saints, en aimant, en pardonnant et en espérant en votre promesse de vie éternelle.
En union avec tous les saints,
Nous vous louons et vous bénissons,
Maintenant et pour toujours.
Amen.
Maria, Daniel + Honda
DEAR GOD, I offer this prayer in Love, Honour, and Remembrance of my precious Mom who passed into the unseen realms last December 27, 2023.
As I remember her today on All Souls’ Day, I invoke the mighty power of the Catholic Saints, the Nine Choirs of Angels, the Blessed Virgin Mary, Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit the Paraclete.
With a pure heart, I speak the sacred words: “Ave Maria,” tracing the sign of the cross upon my heart, which symbolizes the Love and Protection of the Holy Trinity. May this simple yet profound act open a channel of communication between myself and my Mother’s spirit.
May this prayer weave a bridge between our worlds, allowing our souls to connect with ease. I open my heart and mind to the possibility of communion with her through the art of channeling and automatic writing. May the Holy Spirit guide my hand and words, allowing my Mother to speak through me. I pray that each morning when I awake, she inspires me to live a life that honours her and aligns with my Divine Purpose.
Oh, Jesus, my Lord & Saviour, I humbly ask for Your Divine Mercy to embrace my Mother’s soul, gifting her the Grace of Rest and Life Eternal in the Highest Heavens. May she be forever free from the wheel of rebirth.
Mother Mary, my Mom’s beloved Queen, I implore you to intercede for her, that she may ascend to Eternal Bliss with infinite access to Heaven’s Spiritual Treasury. Remember, my Mother was a Praetorian, a Legionary of the highest order, with a special devotion to You and the Rosary, which she recited multiple times while going about her day.
If, by some cruel twist of fate, my Mother’s soul is detained or imprisoned in Purgatory, or worse, I pledge my Life, Prayers, Invocations, Indulgences, and Acts of Charity and Penance (fasting/ abstinence from sweets, praying the Rosary, reading Scripture, attending Mass) for her purification and swift release. May the flames of Divine Love consume any impurities and hasten her journey to Paradise.
My Mom lived a life of heroic virtue and deserves to be venerated, beatified, perhaps canonized as a Saint.
Archbishop Larry Saldanha called her “a dear and extra pious soul,” recognizing her as an extraordinarily generous woman of deep faith, extremely active in the Legion of Mary, the CWL, and various anonymous charities. For many decades, while her health permitted, she was a tireless volunteer at Precious Blood Church, utterly devoted to supporting the priests, deacons, ministers, staff, and parishioners…
May her plethora of untold Sacrifices, Prayers and Acts of Kindness, and Unconditional Love for her family, friends and neighbours in Canada, the Philippines and beyond, Mother Nature, Mother Mary and, of course, God, Jesus, Archangel Michael, Cherubim & Seraphim, the Heavenly Host, the Saints, and all Celestial Beings of Light, be rewarded now and forever.
I humbly beseech You, Holy Spirit the Paraclete, to plead my Mother’s case to Source, that she may be granted abundant Joy, Blessings, Special Protection, Reunion with Loved Ones, Divine Peace, and the Stewardship of the flora in the Elysian Fields.
Eternal Rest grant unto Antonietta, O Lord, and let Perpetual Light shine upon her.
May the souls of all the faithful departed — and all souls in need, especially those with no one to pray for them, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on me.
In the name of Mother Father God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.
Amen +
