Toma S. Trombetti's Obituary
Toma S. Trombetti, 65, passed October 15, 2013 with her love of family, brilliant mind, and determined spirit; Toma successfully battled Sarcoma for many years.Toma Stubblefield, was born in North Carolina, June 26, 1948, raised with six siblings in Miami and graduated from Florida Atlantic University. Shortly thereafter, Toma married the love of her life, Robert (Bob) Trombetti on June 12, 1970. Toma’s memory will be cherished by husband; Bob, sons; Nate (Tara), Todd (Lorie), and grandsons; Gavin, Jake, Ethan, John-Paul, and Canon. Toma gifted all her grandchildren with the love of knowledge, discovery, reading, and athletics. Nothing pleased Toma more than good grades and cheering on her boys at athletic events. Survived by sisters; Wanda Libby, Sue Ellen Vaughan, and Teresa Phillipp. Toma is also survived by brothers Randy Stubblefield and Roger McMurray, and predeceased by sister, Treva Stubblefield. The love shared by Toma and her family will survive in spirit forever.Toma is best known in our community as a teacher of fourth grade students for 39 years! So many students will remember the tireless dedication of Mrs. Trombetti. Selflessly, she taught out of true love and devotion to the children whom she would still advise to “read more, explore all possibilities, and enjoy life.”In keeping with that spirit, in lieu of flowers Toma asked that contributions be made to “Operation Smile” which performs surgery on children born with cleft palates. A Funeral Mass Memorial will be held on Monday, October 21, 2013 at 5:00 p.m. at Church of the Resurrection, Fort Myers. A gathering will be held immediately afterwards.Nani, we love you. Rest in Peace. –
