Cora Lonardo

Cora G. Lonardo, 100, of Providence, passed away on her 100^th birthday peacefully at home on Friday, May 31, 2024 surrounded by her loving family.  She was the wife of the late Lawrence “Larry” Lonardo.  Born in Providence, she was the daughter of the late Attilio and Carolina (Gianfrancesco) Costantino.

Cora worked for Crownmark for many years before retiring.  A true matriarch, she loved spending quality time with her family and served and loved God.  She enjoyed singing, cooking, dancing, telling stories about her childhood, her brothers and sisters, and the love and memories she had with her husband Larry.  Above all, she enjoyed making everyone happy. She was the true definition of unconditional love.  She took immense pride in her family and Cora’s legacy will be that she was always there for everyone.
