Antoinette Dibenedetto

Antoinette DiBenedetto, 95 of North Lima passed away peacefully Sunday evening at Hospice House. Antoinette, known as "Toni" was born in Youngstown, a daughter of the late Domenico and Gulia Fabilli DiBenedetto and was a lifelong area resident. She worked for Hynes Industries for many years, where she retired in 1985. Previously Toni had worked for Singer Sewing Machine where she had taught sewing. Toni was a member of St. Dominic Catholic Church and was an exceptional seamstress and had sewn many of her own clothes. She loved to crochet and knit, but most importantly was the time she spent with her family and the family dinners. Toni was the oldest in the family and always the first in line with her huge appetite, even though she was so petite. She will be dearly missed by her friends and family including her sister, Josephine Constantinovich of Boardman; three nephews, Thomas (Cindy) Constantinovich, James DiBenedetto, John DiBenedetto; three nieces, Diane (Gary) Peterson, Karen (Doug) Thorpe, Rita Constantinovich and 7 great nephews and a great niece. Besides her parents, Toni was preceded in death by her brother, James DiBenedetto; three brothers that died in infancy; a brother-in-law, Thomas Constantinovich, a nephew, David Constantinovich and her beloved dogs, Shalamar and Romona.
