Antoinette took great care of her family in every way she could and loved all her family dearly. Her favorite pastimes were fishing and crabbing (and her specialty was catching crabs with vienna sausages).  She enjoyed listening to music of the Big Band era with Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. She also enjoyed volunteering with her family for the St. Joseph’s Alter.   Antoinette was quick witted and clever. If you asked her for advice (and even when you didn't) she always “told it like it was”.   She will be dearly missed by her family.  She will never be forgotten and always loved. Chauvin Funeral Home, Inc., is honored to serve the Lirette family.
