Antoinette T. McGovern, a lifetime resident of Warwick, NY, passed away on February 26, 2020. She was 94 years old.

Born on April 6, 1925, she was the daughter of Theresa (Guzetti) and Arthur Papaceno. She was predeceased by her husband Leo McGovern(2001).

She was a member of the Warwick VFW Auxiliary, the Florida Seniors, and a parishioner of St. Stephen’s Church. Antoinette volunteered in the gift shop at St. Anthony Hospital. She loved to crochet, but she lived for her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren – they were her life!

A special thank you to Mt. Alverno Center: to her caseworker, Hayley, who went above and beyond for mom; to Juana, her nurse, who showed her love and compassion; and the entire staff who treated her with such kindness. Thank you to the Kaplan Hospice House for making her final days peaceful and dignified.

I would like to create a memorial page

Your patience and understanding is greatly appreciated . Your services to George and our family were above and beyond our expectations. Thank you never seems sufficient when the situation appears and is often overwhelming. Your concern for us and our guests will never be forgotten.

... throughout these back to back losses, your gracious concern and professionalism made the time special.

.. not only are you the best - but the town / village of Warwick respects you very much. All with good reason.

I just wanted to thank you and your staff for making Mom’s Memorial Service a success. We appreciate your professionalism and attention to detail.

I believe Mom would have been very pleased with the whole production. Thanks again for making Mom’s day a special memory for our family and friends.

Thank you for all your kindness, compassion and walking me through this very difficult journey with ease. The services were perfect and beautiful because of you. You are very special people and I will never forget you.
