Antoinette “Toni” Mitchell (nee Pojkenis) 78, of Butler, formerly of Wayne died Saturday, August 18, 2007 at the Hackensack Medical Center, Hackensack.
She was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY having lived in Wayne for thirty five years before moving to Butler five years ago.
She graduated from Bushwick High School, Brooklyn, NY with the class of 1947.
Toni worked for over twenty-five years at the Macys Department Store, Willowbrook Mall, Wayne before her retirement. In her retirement she assisted at the Skyline Auto Auction, Fairfield on a part-time basis for several years.
She is best described as a quiet and independent with a good natured, sarcastic, sense of humor. Her love of travel is evidenced by the fact that she would go on cruises and trips all the time. Even the picture posted here is of her on a cruise ship.
