Antoinette A Licari

Antoinette Licari, 79, passed away peacefully on January 28, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, Antoinette built a life centered on love, hard work, and devotion to family. She later made her home in Waldwick, New Jersey, and eventually settled in Mays Landing, New Jersey, where she continued to create warm memories with those she cherished most.

Antoinette began her career as a hairdresser, a role that reflected her warmth and natural ability to connect with others. Over the years, she embraced new paths, working with Karina hair products, Valley Center for women, and most recently bringing joy to families through her work at Storybook Land. No matter where she worked, she carried the same kindness, dedication, and bright spirit.

Family was the heart of Antoinette’s world. She is survived by her beloved husband, Joe; her sons Frank (Mara) and Joe Jr. (Sharon); and her treasured grandchildren and great-grandchildren: Jackie and her husband Nick (Emma and Brooks), Frank Jr., Dean, and Kyra. She is also survived by her dear brother Dominic and his wife Grace, and her sister Maryann and her husband Joe.

Antoinette shared a particularly special bond with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who brought endless pride and happiness to her life. Her love for them was deep, constant, and unmistakable.

She is reunited in eternal peace with her parents, Ciro and Angelina.

Antoinette will be remembered for her loving heart, her strength, and the unwavering devotion she showed to her family every day of her life. Her legacy lives on in the close-knit family she nurtured and the many lives she touched with her warmth and grace.
