Antoinette (Toni) Andriaccio

Born in Collepietro, Italy, Toni came to America at the age of three with her parents,Giavanna and Vincenzo Coppola. The family settled in Buffalo, New York, where she would eventually raise a family of her own. In 1982, she and her husband Guy moved to Mayville, NY,where they established Andriaccio’s Restaurant–a cherished family-run business that has become a cornerstone of the community for nearly five decades.

Toni was the heart of the Andriaccio family–the matriarch, the glue that held everyone together. Her life was rooted in love and service to others. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 72 years, Guy; her sister, Carolena Majchrzak; her nephew, Paul Majchrzak; and her parents.

She is survived by her five devoted children: Joanne, Guy (Cynthia), Nicholas (Sally), Mark(Jill), and Linda (Steve); 17 grandchildren; and 28 great-grandchildren. Her legacy will live on through each of them and in every corner of the family restaurant where so many memories were made.

A long-time member of St. Mary’s Church in Mayville, Toni’s faith and kindness guided her life. She was the embodiment of generosity–always making sure no one ever left her home hungry, always ready with a listening ear, a warm plate, and an even warmer heart. Sunday family dinners, holiday gatherings, and celebrations of every kind were her joy and her gift to her loved ones.

Her songs, her stories, and her sense of humor lit up every room she entered. Her love was deep, unwavering, and unforgettable. Her beautiful smile, so full of warmth and light, will be dearly missed. In her final days, she was surrounded by love–and now, reunited in peace with her husband, sister, parents, and all those she held dear who passed before her.

Heaven did not just gain an angel; it gained a saint.

A Mass will be held on July 26 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Mary’s Church, 22 East Chautauqua St., Mayville, NY. Donations may be made in Toni’s honor to the Alzheimer’s Association.

Toni will be deeply missed but never forgotten. Her love will live on forever in the hearts of all who were lucky enough to know her.
