Lois Ann Lombardi died peacefully surrounded by her devoted family at Hope Hospice & Palliative Care of RI, on Aug. 4, 2019, after a short illness. Born in Central Falls, she was the daughter of the late John Aldworth and Ethel Mae Pye.
Lois graduated from Central Falls High School as Salutatorian of the Class of 1960.

She was a member of Rhode Island Country Club since 1978, a board member of the Barrington Garden Club, and an active member at Holy Angels and later St. Luke’s Parish.

Besides her husband, she is survived by her children, Lisa Lombardi Keegan, Joseph Lombardi Jr., Stephen Lombardi, James Lombardi and John Lombardi. Additionally, she is survived by their spouses, James Keegan, Lizabeth Lombardi, Charlotte Lombardi, Ann Lombardi and Melanie Lombardi. Finally she is survived by her 11 grandchildren.
