Antionette (Toni) Budine, 90, of Walton/Queensbury, passed away Monday, Aug. 15, 2022 at the Granville Center in Granville following a long illness. Antionette was born June 24, 1932 in the Town of Walkill, the daughter of the late Sikke and Alice Kolk. On June 26, 1955 she married Roland A. Budine Sr. in Washingtonville. He died on June 2, 1995.
Antionette worked as a bank teller at the National Bank of Delaware County and NBT in Walton where she retired. In her spare time she enjoyed doing word searches, reading books - especially romance novels, making cards and writing letters to her grandchildren. During basketball season she was an avid Syracuse Orangeman fan. One of her favorite things to do was play games, especially Skip Bo with her granddaughter Brittany. For Thanksgiving dinner she always made the best oyster stuffing and sweet potatoes. And we cannot forget how she loved her sweets, especially strawberry ice cream and coconut rings from the Holland American Bakery.
Antionette is survived by her loving family, daughter and son-in-law Teresa and Robert Hilton of South Glens Falls; son and daughter-in-law Roland and Tricia Budine of Point of Rocks, Md.; grandchildren Alicia Santiago (Antonio), Brittany, Jessica Walker (Ethan), Lexi Budine-Utter (Matt) and Sophie; great-grandchildren Ezra and Layla; sisters Anna Reyns of North Carolina and Josie Zwart of New York; and several nieces, nephews and cousins.
She was predeceased by her parents, husband, and brothers Simon, Henry and Cornelius Kolk.
Friends and family are invited to call Friday, Aug. 26, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Courtney Funeral Home, 25 Townsend St, Walton, where services will be held at 1 with Pastor Keith Davey, officiating. Burial will follow in Walton Cemetery, 55 Fancher Avenue, Walton.
