Mrs. Domenica Lombardi

April 21, 1931 - January 18, 2021

Domenica Lombardi "Minnie", age 89, of Gerritsen Beach, NY passed away unexpectedly on January 18, 2021 due to complications from covid. Minnie was born to Margaret and James Fortunato on April 21, 1931 in Brooklyn, NY. Minnie met the love of her life and husband-to-be, Louis {Departed June 29, 2003}, at a young age and they were soon married on May 31, 1948. They built a wonderful life together and raised 2 children, Stephanie and Vincent {Departed February 13, 2007} who blessed them with plenty of grandchildren. Minnie enjoyed many activities, but most of all traveling. She and Lou traveled to many places throughout the country, but favored the Carolinas where they spent a couple of months a year. When Minnie was not busy traveling, she adored spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren, great grandchildren and grandpets (although she claimed to not like animals all that much!). Minnie enjoyed speaking on the phone with everyone, whether it was just to check in with you or have an hour long chat (I swear she had her phone attached to her ear). You could not help but smile when you told her a funny story and her infectious laugh continued on for minutes. Minnie enjoyed a variety of crafts, including knitting, crocheting, beading and in later years, she became the puzzle queen. Minnie was predeceased by her mother Margaret, father James, husband Louis and son Vincent. She is survived by her daughter Stephanie, son-in-law Edmond, daughter-in-law Lorraine, her grandchildren; Edmond, Lisa, Louis, Vincent, Jennifer, Thomas and Timothy, her great-grandchildren; Jessica, Angelica, Megan, Louis, Christina, Elisia, Gabriella, Sophia and Mia. Minnie was fortunate to also have great-great-grandchildren in her life, Gianna and Avery. Rest in sweetest peace Miss Minnie. A viewing will be held January 21, 2021 from 6-9 p.m. Mass at Resurrection Church, Brooklyn, NY on January 22, 2021 at 9:30 a.m. Burial to follow at St. John Cemetery, Queens, NY. Thank you.
