Dorothy A. (Golias) Antonikas

Dorothy A. Antonikas, 97, of Johnstown, passed away peacefully at home on April 21, 2025, surrounded by her devoted family. Born on April 8, 1928, in Johnstown, she was the cherished daughter of Joseph and Anna Golias.

Dorothy was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 67 years, George Antonikas, who passed away in 2022, as well as her brothers, Edward and Richard Golias.

She is survived by her loving daughters: Sharon Delic (late husband John, deceased January 2025); Diane Tremblay, married to Pierre of Cranberry; and Debora Lomago, married to Jon of Pittsburgh. Dorothy’s legacy continues through her grandchildren: Joseph Delic (Johanna), Christopher Tremblay (Elizabeth), Justin Delic (fiancée Lisa Miller), and Nicholas Lomago (Jazmin). She also leaves behind her adored great-grandchildren: Bryn and Isla Tremblay, and Hana Lomago.

Dorothy’s family was the center of her world. Affectionately known as "Gram" by her grandsons and great-granddaughters, she took immense pride in supporting their milestones, birthdays, hockey games, and other celebrations. Dorothy’s presence was a constant source of love and joy. She was always praying for her grandchildren and looking out for her family, whom she was immensely proud of.

A woman of simple joys, Dorothy loved watching the Hallmark Channel, western cowboy shows, cheering on the Pittsburgh Penguins, and savoring coffee, chocolate, and sweets.

A lifelong member of St. Francis of Assisi Church, Dorothy married her dear George there on July 25, 1953. Her faith and dedication to her parish were steadfast throughout her life.

Dorothy worked for many years at Bestform and later at Blaine Borings’ Chocolate Shop. She also contributed to the Greater Johnstown School District as a teacher’s aide and concluded her career at a local dental practice.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to Windber Hospice for their compassionate care and support.

Friends will be received on Thursday, 2–4 PM and 5–7 PM, at Francis G. Ozog Funeral Home Inc., Broad Street. A funeral mass will be held on Friday at 11 AM at St. Francis of Assisi Parish, with Rev. Anthony F. Spilka, FF, OFM, Cap., officiating. Committal will follow at Grandview Cemetery.

Dorothy was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend. Her warmth, unwavering devotion, and cherished presence will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
