Antonia Maria Alonso, Latin & Spanish Teacher, PS duPont Known as "Toni" by her dear friends, was born in Havana, Cuba in 1936. She was the youngest daughter of Maria Teresa Carluch and Mario Castro Chané. Antonia fled from her beloved Cuba as a political refugee in 1962 with her husband and two month old daughter, leaving behind her country and so many family members that she missed each day in exile.

Later she went on to become a visiting teacher and a passionate advocate for the Hispanic community and its children. She also served as a Spanish translator for the family court system. Antonia's life was devoted to raising her three daughters and instilling in them the deep love and respect she had for her Cuban culture, its language and traditions.

Antonia is survived by her husband of 47 years, Arturo Alonso; her daughters, Dr. Maria Alonso, Mercedes Alonso and Caridad Alonso; her son-in-laws, Dr. Terry Horton and Thomas Del Porte; her 5 grandchildren whom she adored, Sofia, Marité, Mercedes, Sevastian and Carluccio; her sister, Maria Teresa Polo and brother, José Castro also survive her.
