CORAL LOMBARDI
April 12, 1938 - May 13, 2020
Born in Winnipeg, she grew up, married, and spent many years there. She also lived in Portage la Prairie, Trenton, ON, Oakbank and for the past four years, in Ottawa, and she always considered Manitoba her home.
A graduate of the Class of 1959 from the Winnipeg General Hospital Nursing School, she thought of herself as a nurse, even in her retirement.
Coral was predeceased by her husband, Ben "Scotty" in 2015 and by her oldest daughter Angie in 2017.
She is survived by her son Ben (Natalia) and granddaughters, Nicole and Anna in Ottawa; by granddaughters, Tianna (London, ON) and Brianne (Winnipeg); her grandson Brady, also in Winnipeg and by her younger daughter Michelle and family in Selkirk.
A memorial service will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

I had an opportunity to chat with Coral last year by phone when I was doing genealogy & she was quite helpful to me. Coral was my great aunt’s daughter & the resemblance to her is quite amazing. I first met her in Selkirk, when my dad & mom visited at the golf club for lunch many years ago. My condolences to her family. Sincerely, Karen Skinner - Posted by: Karen skinner (Cousin) on: May 19, 2020

I live in Vancouver now, but just read of your dear mother and grandmother Coral's passing. We met when I worked together with your GF Ben in Real Estate . So sorry to hear they are now both gone. They were such warm and wonderful people and I visited them when you lived in Transcona years ago. My deepest sympathy on your loss. Sadly, Esther Weinstein. - Posted by: esther weinstein (friend) on: May 19, 2020
