She also enjoyed bowling with some of the men’s professional bowlers such as Mark Roth, Johnny Patraglia, Gus Lampo, and Mike Orlovsky. She was employed by many attorneys in the area as a bookkeeper/accountant. She enjoyed going with her husband to Atlantic City, Reno, Lake Tahoe, and Las Vegas. She was a member of the ARC where she enjoyed playing pitch and trivia.  Connie was known to all as a very supportive mother, grandmother and great grandmother, attending countless scholastic and extracurricular activities for all of them over the years and instilling faith in God in her children from a very young age.  Connie’s true legacy is the strength of her love for others, particularly the three generations closest to her.  As those generations converged from across the country to wish her farewell, she never stopped expressing her love for them, with all her strength, throughout the final days of her journey.   A mass of Christian burial will be held at St. Vincent DePaul/Blessed Sacrament Church, Clubhouse Road, Vestal, on Thursday, April 26, 2018 at 10am. The family will receive friends at J.F. Rice Funeral Home, 150 Main Street, Johnson City, NY on Wednesday, April 25, 2018 from 4pm-7pm.on
