LOMBARDI, Ovidia Orazia Lombardi

With profound sadness and deep sorrow we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Ovidia Orazia Lombardi, who left us peacefully on Sunday, February 15, 2026 at the age of 83.

Born on February 2, 1943 in Monteleone di Puglia, Foggia, Italy, she was the cherished daughter of Rosario and Maria Romagnuolo. From an early age, she carried within her strength and kindness. Above all else, she was a devoted mother. Her love was steady and unconditional — a constant source of comfort, guidance, and strength. She taught us not only through her words, but through her example: how to be resilient in hardship, generous in spirit, and grateful for life’s simplest blessings.

She is survived by her loving children, Achille Lombardi ( Ishatu Lombardi) and Rosemary Lamanna (Leonardo Lamanna), her granddaughters (Victoria, Adrianna, Sophia and Emilia). Though our hearts are heavy, we take comfort in knowing that her love remains woven into who we are. The lessons she taught, the traditions she created, and the memories she gave us will live on for generations.

She was our first home and our greatest teacher. She will be deeply missed and endlessly loved.
