Carmina Lombardi

Carmina Lombardi, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully in her sleep on March 7, 2026, at her home in Stamford, CT. She was born in Minturno, Italy on December 11, 1933, to the late Antonio and Rosa Conte Tuccinardi. Carmina was 92 years old at the time of her passing.

Her heart belonged to both Italy and the United States. Italy was the country where she was born and raised, and Connecticut was the place where she lovingly built her home and raised her family.

Above all else, Carmina lived for her family, her close relatives, and friends. Carmina and her beloved husband of 69 years, Gaetano, shared the best love story that anyone could write. In addition to the love of her life, she cherished her children, Maria and Frank, her daughter-in-law Lisa, and her granddaughters, Arianna and Brielle. They were the center of her world. She treasured her Italian roots, visiting regularly to reconnect with relatives and to share these experiences with her children and grandchildren, creating cherished memories for generations. She was also a beloved friend to many, nurturing relationships that brought warmth, laughter, and support to those around her.

Her Catholic faith was central to her life, and she was a longtime parishioner of Our Lady Star of the Sea Church. Carmina’s life was marked by infinite generosity; she gave freely to those in need, and her home was always a place of peace and welcome. Memories are the treasures of our hearts, and she will remain forever in the hearts of those who loved her.

She is survived by her husband, Gaetano Lombardi; her daughter, Maria Lombardi; her son, Frank Lombardi and his wife, Lisa; her granddaughters, Arianna and Brielle Lombardi; and her brother, Loris Tuccinardi. In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her siblings, Mario Tuccinardi and Lina Ciuffo.

Family and friends are invited to attend a wake at the Nicolas F. Cognetta Funeral Home & Crematory, 104 Myrtle Avenue, Stamford, Connecticut, from 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM on Saturday, March 14th, with a Mass of Christian Burial to follow at 11:00 AM at Our Lady Star of the Sea Church, 1200 Shippan Avenue, Stamford, Connecticut. Entombment will take place privately in Italy.

Carmina’s life will forever stand as a symbol of great and infinite love — un grande amore infinito. Sempre nei nostri cuori.
