Obituary for Antonette Marie "Toni" Graham (Pisciottano)
Antonette “Toni” Marie Pisciottano Graham, age 83, was called home to Heaven on January 17, 2021, because the world needs a beautiful Angel. She was born in Clairton, Pennsylvania on June 11, 1937 to Nicola and Rose Pisciottano. She married the love of her life, Walter “Sonny” Graham on July 31, 1954.
Toni was a first generation Italian-American and was very proud of her heritage. She loved cooking the foods her Mother taught her to cook and sharing them with her family.
She loved to sew and she made beautiful quilts. She loved traveling in their motor home and traveled the United States twice. She lived in many places during her life and made every house a home. She lived in Tucson for the past 20 years. She also loved all of her dogs, living and passed on, and prayed for them every night.
She lived by the saying, “Always do what’s right and what’s good. Be kind and help others when you can.” She passed that on to her family.
Toni is survived by her husband Walter; her children, Sheryl Knapp, Patty Powell, Cindi Zischka, Robbin and Joanne Graham; her grandchildren, Trevor and Cameron Knapp, Sunny Bange, Ivy Nuernberger, Erik, Robbie and Christine Graham; 3 great grandchildren; her sister Tina Christensen; and her brother Nick and Rose Pisciottano.
Her final resting place will be at the Arizona Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Marana, Arizona.
