Molly was born and raised in Providence, Rhode Island; the daughter of Carmine and Elizabeth Lombardi. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband Giulio 'Julio' in January 2001.

Molly is the devoted and loving mother of Marlene and her husband Theodore Catino of Delray Beach, and Janice Trudel of Parkland; caring sister of Eleanor (John) Mancini and Albert (Virginia) Lombardi; proud grandmother of Theodore Jr., Julie-Ann, Stephanie, Michael, Mark, Christine, Darlene, Amber; and 14 great grandchildren. Molly will also be deeply missed by all her cherished friends and staff at Summerville Assisted Care Facility in Deerfield Beach.

Visiting hours will be held from 4:00-8:00 p.m. on Wednesday at Babione Funeral Home (west chapel, 561-483-9500), Boca Raton. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, August 14, 2008 at Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church, Deerfield Beach. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to The Shriners Children's Hospital.

Jan, Christine, Darlene & Families,
I am saddened to hear of Mama's passing. I'm grateful that I had an opportunity to see her when I visited last year. I wish I could be there to give you all a hug.
I have wonderful memories of Mama and Papa at Jan's home in Plainville.
It is very hard to loose someone that has been such a beacon to your family. Mama was a lovely person that was loved so deeply by her family.
You are always in my thoughts and prayers.
Love to all of you.

To Cousins Marlene, Janice and your entire families -

Mom and I send out deepest condolences on the loss of Aunty Molly. I, personally, have fond memories of us visiting you both with your mom and dad on Ledge Street - was that a long time ago??

Your mom was a dear, sweet person and will be greatly missed. It is hard to believe that our families (Borinos, Ruggieros and Lombardis) were once so big and now so many have gone.

I look forward to the day when we all shall be together again in a much better place with each other and our beloved God.

Know that while miles may separate us that mom and I are with you all in our hearts and share your great loss.

Love and prayers to you all.

Cousin Camy & Aunty Betty

Dear Ruggiero Family,
There is a human bond that connects us all. It may be like a delicate thread, but in special times it becomes like a line of steel that helps to bind us, one to another.
This strand makes our sorrow more bearable, and in the long run that is what really matters. Mama (Aamalia) will be missed by her family and friends, but the thread of our human bonds will always keep some part of her with you all. I hope it will be an added source of comfort to all of you at this time of grief to know that others care.
With Heartfelt Thoughts,
Ronnie and Nancy Brodeur
