Antoinette Lamping, age 93 of Wayne and formerly of Paterson, died peacefully on Monday, September 21, 2015.
Antoinette was the youngest of three beautiful daughters born in Paterson to Arasmo and Carmella Forte in 1922. She grew up in Paterson and, following graduation from the Paterson school system, she met her future husband William Lamping. Soon after her dad’s passing, Antoinette and Bill married, continuing to live in Paterson where she remained most of her married life until moving with Bill to Wayne in 1990.
A consummate homemaker, to Antoinette homemaking wasn’t a chore, it was a calling! Her belief was that all of life revolved around the love of family and food. It was this conviction that helped Antoinette get through such mundane tasks as cleaning the house and doing the laundry for her husband and three sons. While chores were necessary, the most enjoyable parts of her life’s calling were creating delicious culinary delights and entertaining. Everyone especially enjoyed Antoinette’s delicious soups including split pea, pasta fagioli, navy bean, chicken, escarole and beans, and her leg-of-lamb dishes. You better eat it fast because Antoinette’s keen cleaning instinct often drove her to whisk your plate off the table for washing, often times before you even had a chance to empty it! While dessert usually was supplied by Deb Pam Bakery on Union Boulevard in Totowa, occasionally Antoinette would serve a wonderful rice pudding that she perfected from a recipe obtained from a local restaurant. You might like to try making it yourself!
Here’s the rice pudding recipe:
½ gallon milk
½ cup rice (uncooked, long grain)
Boil for 20 to 30 minutes
Add 1 cup of sugar
Boil for 7 to 10 minutes more, stirring constantly
Beat 2 eggs until fluffy with 1 teaspoon vanilla and cinnamon to taste
Fold into the rice
Cool to room temperature
Cover and refrigerate
During the Christmas season Antoinette loved to bake Italian cookies with her mother and two sisters Mary and Katherine. As was the tradition, family would gather to enjoy a cookie with some anisette.
During the summer the family would often times vacation down the shore at a rented house in Seaside Park. While the children enjoyed fun in the sun, surf and at the boardwalk, Antoinette and her sisters and mother stayed back to cook and clean.
In 1990 Antoinette and Bill moved to Sisco Village. She enjoyed the picnics, parties, bingo games and general sense of community that was so prevalent there.
Antoinette is survived by her three loving sons: William and wife Judy of Wayne, Robert and wife Linda of Haledon, and Richard and wife Cheryl of Woodstock, GA: nine adored grandchildren: Christine, Cheryl, William, III, Robert, Jr., Peter, Jennifer, Cybil, Richard, and Alex; and sixteen dear great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her beloved husband William in 1998, and her two sisters: Mary Azzarone and Katherine Begyn.
In lieu of flowers, as expressions of sympathy, if friends so wish, donations may be made in Antoinette’s memory to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital P.O. Box 1000, Dept. 142, Memphis, TN 38148-0142 or Deborah Hospital Foundation, P.O. Box 820, Browns Mills, NJ 08015.
