ASHTABULA — Ann M. Lombard, age 90, of Ashtabula, Ohio, died on Saturday afternoon, May 12, 2012, at Ashtabula County Medical Center from injuries sustained in a car accident.

Born Nov. 16, 1921, in Erie, Pa., she was the daughter of Leonard and Eleanor (Dombrowski) Schwer. Ann grew up in Conneaut, Ohio, attended St. Mary's School and graduated from Conneaut High School, Class of 1939. She married Anthony (Lomby) Lombard of Ashtabula, in Conneaut at St. Mary's Church in August of 1947.

After graduating, Ann worked at the former Goldette Clothing Factory in Conneaut. She was employed by Grace Severino, her best friend, at The Import Store on Main Avenue and also at St. John's High School cafeteria.

An extremely devout Catholic and a member Of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church (Our Lady of Peace), she was involved in many of the church organizations. She was a member of the Altar and Rosary Society; taught C.C.D. for ten years; initiated and coordinated Perpetual Adoration at the Church Chapel; and was involved with the annual church feast. She also faithfully visited the sick and residents of the local nursing homes in the Ashtabula area, bringing them fresh fruit to enjoy. Ann and her husband annually made the pilgrimage to Carey, Ohio, to visit the shrine. She was a member of the Secular Franciscan Order and generously contributed to many Christian charities throughout the world.

Ann was also responsible in assisting financially and educating Antony Vailatt to be become a priest through a seminary in Africa. After becoming a priest, Father Vailatt made a surprise visit to Ann at the Ashtabula Country Club where she resided, to thank her for her Christian beliefs and generosity making it possible for him to become an ordained priest. Father Vailatts visit completed Ann's pilgrimage and reinforced her strong belief in helping others.

Survivors include her son, Michael; daughter, Lenore (Ron) Lupo; grandchildren, David (Carolyn) Enricco, Ronelle (Eric) Myers and Ronald (Christie) Lupo; great-grandchild, David Enricco; and neighbor, Donna (Palumbo) Notte, who Ann was a second mother to when her mother passed away at a young age. Ann was also anxiously awaiting the birth of her second great-grandchild which is due this week to her granddaughter Ronelle.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Anthony Lombard; her brother, Leonard Schwer; and her sister, Eleanor Lawrence.

Funeral Mass will be celebrated 12 p.m., Noon, Wednesday, May 16th, in Our Lady of Peace Parish, Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, 1200 E. 21st St., Ashtabula, with burial to follow in Saint Joseph Cemetery.

Visitation will be from 10 to 11:30 a.m., Wednesday, at GUERRIERO FUNERAL HOME, 1550 W. 19th St., Ashtabula.
