Gladys A. Baamonde (nee Stich), age 91, of Hamburg, NJ and formerly of Wayne, died on Saturday, April 10, 2010 at the Hospice of New Jersey in Wayne. Her loving family was gathered with her as she peacefully passed.
Gladys was born in Harlem and lived there for much of her childhood. She later lived in the Bronx and moved to Wayne in 1976 where she lived for twenty three years. She had most recently been living with her daughter in Hamburg, NJ.
At eighteen years old, she married Placido Baamonde and they enjoyed forty nine years of loving marriage together before he passed in 1985. Motherhood seemed to be her calling as she simply loved raising her four children. Her children describe her as the ‘perfect mother’, and recall nothing but fond memories of their many years together. She was later blessed with nine grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren.
Gladys was a spry lady with a strong Italian/German heritage. She was a very good cook and learned most of what she knew about German cooking from her father. She loved to make pot roast and stuffed chicken, and her Spanish pie was wonderful too. She also enjoyed playing cards, Gin Rummy, and solving word-search puzzles. To all that knew her, she was a fine lady.
Gladys is survived by her four devoted and loving children; Ronald Baamonde and his wife MaryAnn of Edgewater, NJ, Mary Miller and her husband Karl of Hamburg, NJ, Richard Baamonde and his wife Anna of Palm Harbor, FL, and Robert Baamonde and his wife Geraldine of Naples, FL, nine grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband Placido in 1985, and also by her two brothers.
