Antoinette (Cashiola) Pinina, beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, born June 27, 1930 in Houston, Texas to Peter A. and Rose Mary Cashiola, went to be with the Lord on May 13, 2021.

She was preceded in death by her former husband, Sidney Pinina; and brothers, Louis Cashiola and Pete, Cashiola, Jr.

Antoinette is survived by her sons, Anthony and his wife, Carolyn, Gary and his wife, Ferra, Rodney and his wife, D’Ann, Christopher and his wife, Lisa; sisters, Ann Cashiola, Mary Rose Cashiola, Carolyn Lawrence and her husband, Stephen, Rosalie Kessler; brothers, Joe Cashiola and his wife, Ann, Michael Cashiola and wife, Frances, Charles Cashiola and his wife, Diane, Gerald Cashiola; 11 grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren, as well as many loving nieces and nephews.

She graduated from Incarnate Word Academy, Houston in 1948.

Antoinette was a homemaker and raised four sons while caring for their Catholic upbringing. She drove them to school, dance lessons, baseball practice and other functions during their formative years.

She loved her sons and always wanted the best for them. As her sons married, she loved each of their spouses as her own. Her life changed, to her delight, when they had children. She had a special place in her heart for each one of the grandchildren.

Her hobby was collecting Madame Alexander Dolls, but her main enjoyment came from giving.

In later years, she began working out in the public in retail shops. She gained immense enjoyment being around people and helping them with their selections.

The family would like to thank all those at Addington Place of Meyerland for loving and caring for our mom.  Especially, Matthew Warren, Lyndsay Bullock, Kelli Kenny, and Tanisha Barnes.

The family will receive relatives and friends for a viewing and visitation at 9:00 a.m., with a Mass of Christian Burial at 10:00 a.m., on Thursday, May 27, 2021 at St. Michael's Catholic Church, 1801 Sage Road in Houston, Texas.  The Rite of Committal will follow at St. Joseph Cemetery in Houston, Texas.

For those desiring, flowers will be accepted at Joseph J. Earthman Generations.
