She was a secretarial studies graduate of the Bates School of Business in Philadelphia, as well as an honors graduate of the secretarial program at the Thompson School of Business, in Wilmington.

She was a member of the Seaford Presbyterian Church.
She loved to read. That reading spurred her hobby of filling spiral notebooks with quotations of noted persons’ philosophical musings on leading a life of courage and dignity.
She had a placid, upbeat personality, as well as a gentle wit.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brother, Thomas C. Shute; her husband of 39 years, John Lombardo; and her stepdaughter, Salvatrice “Sally” L. Rebman.
She is survived by her daughter, Kay I. Greene and her husband James of Lincoln; her daughter, Susan C. Isaacs of Milton; and her daughter, Beth Isaacs of Milton.
She is also survived by her grandson, Bernhard “Ben” Tebbens and his wife Glenda of Lincoln; a granddaughter, Bonnie K. Twilley and her husband Kevin of Lincoln; her stepson-in-law, James Rebman of Laurel; her step-grandsons John Rebman of Seaford and Steven Rebman of Laurel; her step-granddaughter Michelle R. Layton of Bridgeville; four great-grandchildren and four step-great-grandchildren; her cousin Carroll Dorsey of Oakhurst, Calif.; and her friend for over 75 years, Dorothy “Dot” Joseph Callaway, of Bridgeville. She also cherished the many caring Methodist Manor House staffers and volunteers who befriended her during her seven years of residence there.
Her funeral service will be at 1 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 23, at Cranston Funeral Home, 300 Shipley St., Seaford. Friends may call one hour prior. The Rev. Dr. R. Jervis Cooke, pastor of the Methodist Manor House, will officiate. Interment will follow at Milford Community Cemetery, 300 S. Rehoboth Blvd.
