Angelique A. ‘Gigi’ (Guilhot) Antonich
Oct. 28, 1960 – Oct. 17, 2020
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Gigi passed away peacefully with her family by her side.
She was born, along with her twin brother Tony, to Daniel Guilhot and Judith (Haslett) Guilhot of Burlingame, California.
One of three children, she was raised on the Peninsula and attended Carlmont High School class of 1979.
She moved to Oregon and married George Antonich and worked with him in his family’s restaurants.
She moved back to the Bay Area in the 1980s and for many years, managed her brother Tony’s “Chayitos” restaurants in San Carlos, San Mateo and Fremont.
She then worked for the Twain Harte Unified School District as a paraprofessional teachers assistant and then for Bayberry Inc. in Clearlake as a supportive living coordinator. She excelled at comforting people in need and lifting them up to make them feel special and loved.
She is survived by her father, Daniel Guilhot and his son Alexander Guilhot of Somerset; her mother, Judith Lovell (Larry) of Twain Harte; her twin brother, “Daniel “Tony” Guilhot and her niece Anee Guilhot of San Mateo; her sister, Michelle McCumber (Chuck) of Livermore; her stepfather, Ray Silva of Union City and Aunt Leah-Rae Silva of Santa Rosa; Linda Lovell, Don (Victoria), Conner Lovell, Michael (Michele), Tori, Dillon and Amanda Lovell all of San Mateo; Uncle George Cole of San Carlos; Cindy Cole, Nikki, Camille, Jennifer, Keith and Katherine Harrison and Jim Mocci family of Northern California.
She lived her life with her Catholic faith, charity for all people and animals and the love for her family and friends in her heart.
Our family is heartbroken over her untimely passing and will not be the same without her beautiful laugh, high energy and happy smile.
God Bless You, Gigi, until we all meet again, somewhere over the rainbow. Someday we’ll find it, the rainbow connection, for lovers and dreamers like us.
Donations may be made to any local SPCA or Humane Society to support animals displaced by wildfires. Please consider adopting or supporting a pet to give and receive the love we all deserve and need in honor of Gigi’s life.
