Joanne LoBello

Joan A. LoBello, Joanne to all who knew her, age 65, passed away August 4, 2026 surrounded by her loving family at the HopeHealth Hulitar Hospice Center after a brief illness. Born in Pawtucket, she was the loving daughter to the late Salvatore and Hope (Mulligan) LoBello.

Joanne grew up in Johnston and attended St. Thomas School and St. Mary’s of the Visitation. Shortly afterwards, she began a long career with Blue Cross Blue Shield in Providence and retired from Citizen’s Bank in Johnston.

She was an avid New England Patriots fan and a U.R.I. Ram Football season ticket holder. Joanne loved to travel and took any opportunity to get together with family and a long list of extended “family” to celebrate holidays, birthdays and weddings.

She was the beloved sister of John LoBello and his wife Sandra, Richard LoBello and his wife Jennifer and the late Robert LoBello and cherished aunt of Victoria, Sarah, Lauren Vivi and Teddy and especially the late Johnny LoBello.

Joanne will be remembered for her love! Her generosity! And her spirit!

A special thank you to the staff of The Miriam Hospital and to the HopeHealth Hulitar Hospice Center with whom Joanne came in contact with and received wonderful care in her hours of greatest need.
