ANTONI, Amanda
Amanda Kristy Lane (Hogg) Antoni passed away suddenly in Calgary, Alberta on Monday, October 26, 2015 at the age of 31 years. Born in Calgary, AB on June 5, 1984, she was raised in Carstairs, AB and then went on to live in Calgary with her loving husband of six years, Lee Antoni.
Growing up as the youngest of three children in Carstairs, Amanda was high-spirited, talented as an artist and quick to make friends. If you ever met her, you would never forget her since she was known for her quirky and zany antics such as her silver cowboy boots and matching hat. She loved her coffee and would rarely be seen without a large to-go cup. Her love of animals lead her to taking in two cats and a dog who were all rescue animals. She became a vegetarian because she felt it was ‘not right to eat our friends of this earth’. She made good on her commitment to a better planet by making use of green and natural cleaning products where-ever possible in her own business. Amanda was sensitive to other people’s feelings and had a passion for justice and doing what she felt was right. Not content to just talking about making things better for those in need, she was known to fill up back-packs with necessities and hand them out to the homeless people she came across in Calgary. She loved her family and was always looking forward to times spent at family gatherings and camping trips. Since she was a kid at heart, Amanda always had time to spend with nieces and nephews playing games with them or just horsing around. Amanda and her husband Lee were devoted to each other and would go everywhere together including music concerts, camping, hiking, traveling to interesting and exotic places or visiting with family.
Amanda is lovingly remembered by her husband, Lee Antoni; her mother, Linda Hogg (Dean Owen); brothers, Allen Hogg and Darrell Hogg (Shawna Aleman); nieces, Blayke, Taylor, Journey; nephews, Austin, Dawson, Liam; and many loving relatives including aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews from the Bischke, Hogg and Antoni families. Amanda was predeceased by her father, Leslie (Hogg).
A Celebration of Amanda’s Life will be held in the Crossfield & District Community Centre, 900 Mountain Avenue, Crossfield, AB on Tuesday, November 3, 2015 at 2:00 pm. Luncheon to follow.
