ANTOINETTE TICHELI SWEET


Services for Mrs. Antoinette "Dollie" Ticheli Sweet, of Monroe, will be at 10 
am, Wednesday January 2, 2013 at St. Matthew's Catholic Church, with Rev. 
Joseph Puthappally presiding.

Dollie Sweet was born in Monroe, LA, Feb. 27, 1924 and died December 29, 2012 
in Monroe, LA. She was the youngest of 9 siblings and graduated from Ouachita 
High School in 1942. She began her career with the Monroe city summer 
playground program, where she met her husband, Raymond. She then taught 
kindergarten and P. E. at St. Matthew's school in 1946, retiring 45 years 
later from Jesus the Good Shepherd in 1991. She was always active in local 
athletics not only as a player, but also as a coach in basketball, football, 
and softball.

She was a member of the St. Joseph's Catholic Church where she was on the St. 
Joseph's Alter Committee until it closed, and was presently a member of St. 
Matthews Catholic Church, where she was on the Financial Committee. 

In the last 10 years, she enjoyed making her famous spaghetti and meatballs, 
cookies and pies, and working in her pecan orchard. She loved nothing more 
than cooking for her family and friends. Since the passing of her husband, 
Raymond, in 2006 she has been active in the Singular Connection and Harvey's 
Dance Hall. 

Dollie had many friends from all walks of life, and our family would like to 
sincerely thank all of those who did for her and were a part of her life.

Anthony Sweet; six grandchildren, Andrea Sweet Weinbrecht and husband Gregory, 
Kevin Sweet, Alyce Sweet, Suzy Sweet Moore and husband Carl, Frannie Sweet, 
Kelly Sweet Lee and husband Chris; three great grandchildren Peyton Sweet 
Moore, Michaela McSwain, Zane Lee, and many nieces and nephews.

She is proceeded in death by her parents, Mona Rizzo Ticheli and Anthony Paul 
Ticheli; husband, Raymond Sweet; her 8 siblings, Mary Ticheli Dana, Rose 
Ticheli Russo, Angela Ticheli Sims, Josephine Ticheli Tuminello, Frank Paul 
Ticheli, Phillip P. Ticheli, Mona Ticheli Gardener, and Michael Ticheli.

funeral will be Wednesday 10am at St. Matthews Church. There will a gathering 
of friends and family at Harvey's dance hall immediately following the burial 
services Wednesday. She will be taking your $5 donation at the door in spirit.
