Ann (Lombardi) Lopez, of Wakefield, formerly of East Boston, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, at the age of 84.

Ann is survived by her devoted husband of 59 years, John "Jack" Lopez. She was the cherished mother of Kimberly Clementi and her husband Jim of South Berwick, Maine, and Karen Pugsley and her husband Jack of Wakefield. Ann was a proud and loving grandmother to Hailey and Ethan Clementi, and Tyler and Jordyn Pugsley.
