Our beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin and friend Vera Lombardo, returned to her Heavenly Father unexpectedly but peacefully in her sleep on Saturday, November 19, 2022 at the age of 55. Vera was born in Brooklyn NY on February 10, 1967 to Victor and Margaret Scafuro (both deceased). She was raised in Lindenhurst NY along with her older siblings Leo (Donna Scafuro) and Annette (Bruce Wexler). She graduated high school and was married soon after to her husband Michael Lombardo. Together, they raised five beautiful children Erica (Tarique Rivers), Victoria (Anthony Keezer), Daniella, Michael and Gina. She leaves behind three grandchildren, Julianna, Jaiden, and Aria, and her nieces and nephews whom she loved and adored so much. When Vera was diagnosed with MS in 2009, in the years to follow, she went through experiences in her life more tough than anyone should have to endure. In this, she showed those around her how strong and resilient she was despite it all. Each day that she persevered, she did so out of love for her family and friends. When she loved someone, she loved them with every ounce of her being. When we think of Vera, we will not only think of the good memories, but we will also be reminded that life is fragile, short, and should always be lived to the fullest.
