Antonia "Etta" Loudermilk

born on April 15, 1928, in Providence Rhode Island, passed away peacefully on November 22, 2024, surrounded by her loving family. She was a beloved woman known for her warm spirit and culinary talents.

Antonia dedicated twenty-five years of her life as a controller for GE Base Works in Providence before enjoying a well-earned retirement. Her career was a testament to her commitment and hard work, and she was respected by her colleagues throughout her tenure. Outside of work, Antonia shared many joyful experiences with her husband, Ralph, as they spent countless hours as CB operators, where she fondly took on the handle "bunny rabbit."

Those who knew her will remember her inviting nature, as she loved to cook for everyone, bringing people together around the dinner table. Antonia also enjoyed indulging in hobbies such as visiting the casino, exploring flea markets, attending yard sales, and participating in auctions, often finding unique treasures that she cherished.

Antonia was a proud and devoted family member, and her love for animals was especially evident in her deep bond with her little dog, Shorty. She is survived by her daughter Sandee A. Pacheco and her husband Joe, her son James P. Loudermilk and his wife Cheryl, and her cherished grandson Jeremy J. Loudermilk.

She was preceded in death by her husband Ralph P. Loudermilk, her parents Francesco and Anna (Patrone) DiLorenzo, and her siblings: sister Rose DeLeone, brother Gerald DiLorenzo, and sister Mary Bosco.

Her funeral and burial will be private.
