Obituary

Our beloved mother, grandmother, sister and friend to many, Anna Lombardi (DiGiorgi) passed away on December 14, 2022 to join her husband of over 50 years, Joe Lombardi, who preceded her death.

Born January 22, 1936 in Brooklyn, New York, to Salvatore and Sylvia DiGiorgi, Anna was big sis to her two brothers Robert and Sal.  On July 20, 1957, she married and the newlyweds made their first home on Long Island.  In the following years they had daughter, Susan, and son, Joe.  While in New York and Pennsylvania, Anna was a tremendous stay-at-home mom who encouraged independence and personal growth in a safe, loving environment.  After moving to Dallas, she worked in Accounting and Human Resources for various companies.  In retirement, Anna enjoyed golfing (served as President of the 9-holers club In Palm Aire, Sarasota) and quilting (joined the local sewing group).  Many admired and acknowledged her quick wit, optimistic attitude (always greeted you with a smile), creativity in crafts and entertaining, friendly nature and love of family.

Anna is survived by her daughter, Susan;  son, Joe, and his wife, Kelly (daughter-in-law), along with their son, Nick (grandson).  Brothers Robert and Sal, sister-in-law Lynn.  As well as, extended family and cherished friends.

    Anna always had the sweetest smile and a joyful sparkle in her eye. She made some custom pillows to my husband’s specifications and they still grace two armchairs in our home. The years that I knew her were lived in grace and enhanced with the loving care that she modeled for her family.

    Ann was one of the kindest people that I ever knew. Always there with a smile and laugh from the heart. You are missed. Rest in peace.

    We are so sorry to see that Anna has passed and sorry for our belated acknowledgement.
    We had many enjoyable times with Anna and Joe in Sarasota with much good food and good laughs.
    One of my wives most important momentos is the pillow that Anna made for her. This came about when my Ann, knowing Anna’s love of sewing, gave her a large number of buttons Ann’s mother had left her. Rather than just use them all herself, she made a throw pillow with probably 100 or more of those buttons sewed to its face. Precious.
    RIP Anna…

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
