Clelia (Clara) Lombardi was born to Antonio and Ninetta Lombardi on June 9, 1944 in Pagliarone, Italy, in the Campobasso region. Clara came from Italy and settled in Ohio in 1962. Shortly thereafter, she moved to Colorado where she worked several odd jobs and eventually became a hairstylist for over 35 years. She owned Venice Hairstyling and was doing hair up until Covid. Her work ethic inspired her children as she served as an amazing role model to them her entire life.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Antonio and Ninetta Lombardi and sister, Sr. Rosetta Lombardi. She was survived by her husband Antonio Lombardi and her three children, Cynthia Lombardi (Giovanni); Rosalina Diecidue (Richard) and Michael Lombardi (Staci). Along with her two brothers, Salvatore Lombardi (Bianca) and Ferdinando Lombardi (Kathy) and her sister, Elsa Lombardi and her Brother-in-Law, Joseph Lombardi (Dolores). And her special cousin/”sister” Bambina Lombardi (Ezio) and their four children.
Clelia was blessed with five grandchildren: Maria, Angelica, Gabrielle, Juliana, and Zander. She was doubly-blessed with two great-grandsons, Giovanni and Alessandro. She is dearly loved by her six nephews and five nieces. She had 30 great-nephew and nieces.
Clelia was preceded in death by her brother in law Carmine Lombardi and by her nephew Michael Lombardi.
