New England Lemonade Family Member Patricia Lombardi Dies at 70

Patricia A. Lombardi, 70, a life-long resident of Warwick, passed away, Monday, January 6, 2025. Born in Warwick, RI she was the daughter of the late Armando and Anna (Polselli) Lombardi.

Patricia's remarkable life was a testament to her unwavering passion and generosity. As a skilled hairdresser, devoted family member, and beloved bartender, she illuminated the lives of everyone she touched. She spent her summers in service to the family business on the New England Lemonade trucks serving up the locals on Oakland Beach and loving the community involvement. Her love for animals was boundless, and she cared for many over the years. 

Music was another vital part of her existence, and she was often spotted at concerts, basking in the energy and connection of live performances. With a legendary green thumb, she could coax life into any plant, and her exquisite floral arrangements and gift baskets reflected her innate creativity and desire to spread beauty.
