Antoinette Antanasoff

Antoinette Atanasoff, daughter of Basil Atanasoff and Neva Boyadjieva, died September 25, 2018. Stephen Atanasoff, Peter and Pam Atanasoff and their sons, Zach and Kit, survive her. Studies of radio and acting in New York City propelled Antoinette to California to pursue her career. Later, after settling in NW Arkansas, she worked as an administrative assistant thereafter. The highlight of her career was her administrative assistance to E. Fay Jones, UA Architecture Chair, and the faculty and students of the school. Her long-lasting relationships with numerous friends sprang from her intelligence and deep spirituality. The fruits of her spiritual life are the depth to which she bonded with people, her listening skills, kindness, grace, sense of humor, pragmatism, encouragement, spiritual guidance and sensitivity. She will be sorely missed. A gathering in her honor will be held on Saturday, October 20, at 3:30 pm at St. Paul Episcopal Church, 224 N. East Avenue, Fayetteville, Ark.
