Antonia “Toni” Fraschini Motichek was reunited with her husband, George S. 
Motichek, in the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ on Tuesday, September 11, 
2012.

A resident of Madisonville since 1948, Toni is the loving “mama” of Helen M. 
Wilson (Earl), George R. “Bob” Motichek (Jeanne), Francis P. Motichek (Jobet), 
Pauline M. Smith (Scott) and Gabriel A. Motichek as well as ten grandchildren 
and eight great-grandchildren. She is survived by one sister, Olga, and a host 
of extended family members near Milano, Italy. Toni was born in Bisnate, Italy 
on Feb. 8, 1926, the daughter of Antonio Fraschini and Emma Raimondi Cominese.

She met George in Italy on his first tour of duty with the U.S. Army in WWII 
and, at the end of the war; he re-enlisted to return to Italy where she waited 
for him. They were married in 1948 and returned to the US to settle in 
Madisonville. From that time on, Toni worked to create a haven of faith, rest, 
laughter and great food for an ever-expanding family. She created glorious 
Sunday dinners for her entire family and a host of welcome guest every Sunday 
for more than 60 years and with her husband, George S. Motichek, insisted on 
daily prayer and family devotions as long as there were children at home. She 
supported her husband George in his love of gardening, leading their children 
to work alongside him to raise, sell and give away wonderful strawberries, 
vegetables and Christmas trees.

She loved graciously, deeply and actively, and was loved in return in the same 
intense manner. Toni was a longtime member of St. Anselm Catholic Church in 
Madisonville and in her later years attended First Baptist Church of 
Mandeville.

Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend the funeral service 
from E.J. Fielding Funeral Home Inc., 2260 W. 21st. Ave., Covington, LA 70433 
on Friday, September 14, 2012 at 12:00 PM. Visitation from 10:00 AM until
