A lifelong resident of West Haven, Connie was a member of the WHHS class of 1945 and became co-chairperson for their many class reunions.  Early on, she worked as a supervisor at Dun and Bradstreet, was Councilwoman for the West Haven  9th district and a past member of the West Haven Town Committee, as well as Purchasing Agent for West Haven and then for East Haven.  She was also a volunteer at St. Raphael’s Hospital in the emergency room and the Patient Relations Dept.  Her love of children led her to become a foster parent for more than 35 years to a child at the Southbury Training School. A devoted parishioner of Our Lady of Victory Church, she was parish secretary for 18 years, and later, a church trustee.  In 2013, she was the recipient of the St. Joseph Medal of Appreciation, an honor of which she was extremely proud.
