Antonette was affectionately called "Laina" by her family, and "Nette" by her friend circle. She graduated from Edgewater High School. During her time at Edgewater, Antonette earned countless medals and awards for Track & Field, she was a star track athlete for the high school. Antonette was employed by Staples Inc. for over 10 years, and did very well with the company. Antonette's driving force was her family. She was a devoted wife, mother, daughter, sister. Antonette married Eli Navarro in September of 2020. The two lived happily with their daughters Samyah & Shaeli. She spoke very fondly of all if her family members to anyone that would listen. Antonette was also an extremely dedicated friend and colleague to many. Emotions have a voice when they are wounded and there are no words that can truly make how we feel less painful. Loving Antonette was so easy all while missing her is so hard. Her love and kindness left a mark on us all. Giving us something special...Joy we could never repay. Life chancing. A blessing! Antonette was gentle yet exuded strength she didn't even know she possessed. Courageous. Brave. Beauty at its finest. Her energetic and bright face, that smile and contagious laugh, ignited us to do impossible things. Endings always bring beginnings and Antonette has left us with her gift of life. Trust will always require that we accept the unanswered so today starts a difficult journey of saying goodbye. Our loss is God's gain. Not taken away as she is in our hearts. She will be missed today, tomorrow, and forever. Know this small token of love is a truce that beauty and life may prevail. We will always remember the good times, learn from the bad, and live for Antonette. Antonette was called home on June 23, 2021. She was preceded in death by father Donald Williams, sister Delene "Dee" Thompson, grandparents Nettie Mae & Joseph Bryant Willie Jr. & Alice Williams.
