She continued her studies and graduated from the College of St. Rose, class of 1951, where she was a devoted alumna and voted to “Who’s Who” in American Catholic Colleges. She married the love of her life on September 8, 1951 and spent much of her time as a homemaker and a mother.

She loved children and did much baby-sitting. She enjoyed gardening and loved being at “Camp” on Burden Lake with her children and grandchildren, helping them learn to swim and waterski. She was a skilled seamstress, typist and cook. She was a lover of Rock’n’Roll music, especially when played by her own children. Connie was an avid Yankees fan. She loved chocolate and sweets and was happy to share with anyone she met. She was fashionable at all times. Connie was a faithful communicant of St. Henry’s Church in Averill Park, where she volunteered on several committees.
