Margery M. Lombardi, 85, a lifelong resident of Jersey City, entered into eternal rest on Wednesday, July 26, 2023. Margery was a loving mother to all of her family and her beloved animals. As she would say, "Life was a black labrador!" Everything she did was for her children. She was kind-hearted and never quick to anger. Every day spent with her was a special one. She was a fantastic chef; Her family knew that on any day of the week, Margery would whip up one of her special meals no matter how tired she felt. She was a parishioner of St. Anne's Church, and always attended with her sidekick, her Aunt Irene "Rene" Ackerly. Margery also enjoyed playing games on her tablet, especially Scrabble.

Lombardi; caring daughter of the late, Irving and Margaret Olmstead; beloved niece of the late Irene "Rene" Ackerly; devoted mother of Mary Ann "Mair" Walls and her puppy partners, Minnie, Bambi, Buster & Lovey; Michael J.
