I will live among you and you will know that the LORD Almighty has sent me to you.

Anna Maria Rombach

June 17, 1970 – August 24, 2024

Anna Maria Rombach, our loving, devoted daughter, took her final flight on Saturday, August 24, 2024, to her Heavenly Home! She passed peacefully in her sleep at home. She is safe in the comforting arms of Jesus, free from all pain, dancing on the streets of gold, but most importantly, bowing ever so humbly at the beautiful feet of Jesus her Lord and Savior. She is a walking, talking, breathing miracle…more alive now than ever. She boldly testified about God’s great love, grace, mercy and salvation on a daily basis. Thank you, Jesus, for the gift of eternal life because of your precious shed blood on Calvary. Surely our Abba Father told Anna “You’ve been through enough my good and faithful child, well done, welcome home.” She is survived by her parents, John and Rose Lombardo Rombach; sister, Missy Cowart and husband, John; her precious nephews, Joshua and Jacob Cowart; honorary brother, Kris Hill and wife, Jessica; aunts and uncles, Joseph Lombardo, Elizabeth McElroy Autin and husband, Pierre, Johanna Caballero and Steve Lombardo and wife, Marie; numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and her fur baby, Giuseppe. Preceded in death by her grandparents, Steve and Anna Lombardo and Beverly and Edna Rombach; uncles, David John McElroy and Antonio Caballero. Visitation at McKneely Funeral Home, Amite, from 10:00AM until religious services at 1:00PM on Wednesday, August 28, 2024. Services conducted by Pastor Bradley Bennett and Rev. Egnos Pines. Interment will follow in Our Lady of Pompeii Cemetery, Tickfaw, LA. Pallbearers Joshua Cowart, Jacob Cowart, John Cowart, Kris Hill, Pierre Autin, Earl Lombardo, Jace Taylor, Kenny Sims, T.J. Louviere, and Bob Quinealty. For an online guestbook, visit http://www.mckneelys.com.
