Phyllis Antognini passed away from natural causes on July 6, 2024 at the incredible age of "29 in holding".

Phyllis was born in Red Deer, Alberta and raised in Vancouver, B.C. She left home for The Julliard School of Music in NYC and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts. She debuted at Carnegie Hall to critical acclaim and went on to join the New York Opera Company, before returning to Toronto where she frequently performed on the CBC. Her love of horses brought her to Prince Edward County where she left a legacy over the last 40 years teaching classical voice and piano students in the PEC community. She will be dearly missed by her students who she continued to work with until the very end.

Phyllis is preceded in death by her husband, Enrico Antognini and daughter, Maria Antognini. Survived by her son, David Antognini (Kristen) and the beloved ´Nina´ to Greg Denyes (Jennifer), Lesley Denyes (Alex), Anna Keys (James), Livia Antognini, Cassia Antognini and great grandchildren, Sarah, Scott, Sabin, Avery, Elijah, Dylan, Shea, Nina and Micah.

A Celebration of Life will be held at Waupoos Estates Winery on Thursday, July 11th from 3-6pm. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Opera Company, where Phyllis was a life long patron.
