  Antoinette DiLorenzo Kartis passed on Thursday February 15, 2024 at home, surrounded by family and loved ones. She was 84 years old. Antoinette was a long time resident of Newburgh, NY, born on August 10, 1939, in Brooklyn, NY. She was the daughter of the late Concetta and James DiLorenzo. Annette was a devoted employee of the loving community at Bishop Dunn Memorial School for many years with her dear friends. She was an active member of Our Lady of Mercy parish in Roseton, NY alongside her husband, Paul Kartis whom she was predeceased by in 2013. She and Paul were both members of Middlehope Fire Department, where Annette served in the Ladies Auxiliary. When she was not helping with church functions, she could always be found spending time doing the things she loved such as playing tennis. She was an avid Mets fan and enjoyed quality time with her family, especially her six grandchildren, volunteering, or even traveling with her younger sister, Joanne. Annette was always known for her welcoming and warm personality, never without a smile on her face. Her favorite times were spent with family having "Sunday sauce", especially around the holidays.
Annette is survived by her sister, Joanne Anisky; brother James DiLorenzo and wife Bonnie DiLorenzo; son, Paul Kartis Jr and wife Patty Kartis, daughters: Laura Bronson and Diane Kartis; her six loving grandchildren: Jessica Kartis, Jason Kartis, Tyler Bronson, Joseph Kartis, Elise Bronson and Natalie Bronson; as well as many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Her family would like to thank her long time care givers Blossom, Dana and Chris for their many years of loving and compassionate care. She is predeceased by her parents Concetta and James DiLorenzo and husband Paul Kartis Sr.

            Visitation will be held Monday February 19 from 4pm-7pm at Brooks Funeral Home.
