I worked with Connie at Weis and she was a funny, spunky and and had a wonderful sense of humor.
She will be sorely missed by the deli crew.
May your years of memories help during this difficult time.

I just found out about Connie’s passing. So sorry. My condolences to her family whom I know she loved dearly. I used to work with Connie many years ago at Stern’s Dept. store. I always remember those times fondly. Connie and her good friend Kathy Agostino would always make me & our other co-workers (friends) laugh. May you Rest In Peace Connie. To her family, know that she will always be in your hearts forever.

Connie and I met shortly before she became engaged to my cousin Frank, (“Babe”, as in Babe Ruth) Catanzaro.
Her warmth, openness, and loving heart were all written, clearly, on her face. There was an honesty, balanced by humility shining out from her smile. Her Love for her Frank, NEVER diminished .... throughout all the years; and, ALL THE CHANGES.
As a Mother, a Mother-In- Law, AND AS A GRANDMOTHER, she gave her all. Laughter was ALWAYS present, in a gathering, when Connie was there.
She will be SORELY MISSED by her darling daughter, Tara Ann , her son-in-law, Steven, ... AND JOSEPH, Gianna, & Ava

Connie was my friend- actually I called her my bossy big sister. She was always honest, usually fresh, but would always help in any way she could. She could be outrageous and stubborn but could laugh at herself when she did something dumb. Connie was truly unique and we're glad she was in our life. We are sorry it wasn't long enough. We miss you.......Joann, Joe, Cory and Austin Cupak
