In her younger years, Connie enjoyed arts and crafts, painting, vacations at the shore and traveling with her sister in law, Dr. Gwen, but most recently, due to health problems, she enjoyed reading on her Kindle, playing Candy Crush, watching movies and QVC. Her grandchildren were special joys. She cherished their visits, calls, texts messages and face timing, even if it were by accident at times.
