Angela Herminia Garcia Antonetti passed away peacefully at her home on January 8, 2013, surrounded by her loved ones.
She was born August 2, 1927 in Camaguey, Cuba to parents Maria Dolores Escrich and Francisco Garcia.
She married Dr. Alfredo Antonetti on June 27, 1962 and emigrated with him to the U.S.A. later that year, making a new home first in Wichita Falls, TX and later in Muenster, TX, until their move to Dallas in 2009.
Angela was preceded in death by her parents and her oldest sister Hilda Montesino. She is survived by her husband of 50 + years and his three sons, whom she raised as her own - Alfredo and his wife Judy of Irving TX and sons Alfred, Billy, and Robert, and grandchildren Alfred, Robert, Steve, and Bo; Roberto and wife Tamara of Midlothian TX and son Gregory; and Emilio and wife Lucy of Pensacola FL and children Andrew and Ana. She is also survived by her sister Bertha Garcia of Miami; her niece Lourdes Kuykendall and her husband Bob of Dallas and children Robert and Brittany; and her nephew Orlando Montesino of Houston and his children Michael, Mark, and David, and grandson Luke.
Angela grew up in Camaguey, Cuba and attended the Teresianas Sisters Parochial Elementary school, finishing in the Larrauri Sisters Elementary School. She and her family moved to Havana, where she graduated high school from Baldor Academy. She graduated from the University of Havana with Honors with a degree in Public Accounting. Both during high school and college, Angela and her two sisters were excellent players on their schools' basketball teams and filled three of the five starter positions on the University of Havana Varsity roster. Following graduation from college, she worked as an accountant at El Encanto, a fashionable department store in Havana.
After settling in Muenster, she diligently managed her husband's county-wide medical practice. She loved spending time at their Guarina Horse Ranch, home of their prize-winning Appaloosa horses and other farm animals dear to her. Whether working around the house or going to a play in Dallas, she took great pleasure in her simple, yet fashionable attire. She was a passionate Dallas Cowboy fan, who was quite comfortable wearing blue jeans with her fur stole to their games. Angela always took the time to be present at loved ones' special occasions, such as graduations, weddings, dance recitals, and sporting events.
She will also be remembered for her long-time dedication to her volunteer and fundraising work in Muenster and Gainesville, especially for Cooke County Home Hospice, Red Hats Society, the Gainesville Heritage Society, Gainesville Morton Museum, and Garden Club.
Like her own mother before her, she truly was a lady that led by example, had a tremendous zest for life, and showed us all how to face everything that life throws at us with unwavering courage, faith, and the utmost class, thus earning her the respect of the many whose lives she touched.
A memorial service to celebrate Angela's life will be held on January 12 at the Donnelly's Colonial Funeral Home located at 606 W. Airport Frwy. (Hwy 183), Irving TX beginning at 4:30 PM. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Angela's name to Sacred Heart Catholic Church, 714 North Main Street, Muenster TX 76252.

The family would like to thank the doctors, nurses, and all the other caregivers at Golden Heritage Home Health and Hospice Services for their compassionate care of our beloved Angela (aka Nena, Nana, Tia Nena, and Madrina).
