ANTIN, MARY ELIZABETH QUEALY
Mary Elizabeth Quealy Antin was born March 10, 1918 in Hattiesburg,
Mississippi, and she died, after a series of strokes, in Hammond, Louisiana
at the age of 90, at 3:50 p.m. on February 9, 2008.  She grew up in Havana,
Cuba and New Orleans, Louisiana. She and her husband Walter came to Hammond
as a young couple, after World War II. Though Walter died two years before
Mary, they lived and worked together for almost 60 years in the business
they established, Antin-Quealy, Hammond's first store for fine jewelry and
gifts. Mary will be remembered by her friends, customers and community for
her gentle presence and civic contributions. She served on the founding
board of 7th Ward General Hospital, now North Oaks Health System, and was
an avid golfer and a cancer survivor of many years. She was also a member
of Holy Ghost Catholic Church.  Mary is survived by her sister Mary
Margaret Quealy Watson and brother-in-law James A. Watson (Fredericksburg,
TX); by her children Mary Quealy Antin (Houston, TX) and Noemi Yanes and
Walter (Bud) Antin, Jr. (Hammond); by five grandchildren, David Aaron Lewis
(Washington, DC) and Robert Carolan Quealy Lewis (Corpus Christi, TX); Emma
Elizabeth Antin and Joseph Daschbach (New York, NY); Leah Claire Antin
(Philadelphia, PA); and Walter Antin, III (Shanghai, China); by one great
grandchild Henry Bay Daschbach (New York, NY); and by her sister-in-law
Elizabeth (Betty) Quealy (Amelia Island, FL) and her children.  Mary was
preceded in death by her husband Walter of 64 years (October 24, 2005), her
parents Mary Elizabeth (Bessie) Harrison and William I. Quealy, and her
brother William H. Quealy.  The Antin family would like to sincerely thank
Mary's loving companions for their care, Gerry Turner and Doddy Nicholls,
and also her concerned health providers, Dr. Johnny Walker and the staff
and hospice of North Oaks Medical Center.  A service will be held on
Tuesday, February 12, 2008 at 10:30 a.m. at Holy Ghost Catholic Church.
Interment will follow in Rose Memorial Gardens.  You may sign an online
