It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Constance (Connie) Vassallo. Connie passed away on October 24, 2020 at the age of 93. She was a mother of six children, grandmother of eight and great grandmother of five.
Connie was born in Pictou, Nova Scotia to Martha Sampson McCarville and John McCarville. Connie was predeceased by her parents, siblings, husband; Francis (Frank) Joseph Vassallo and granddaughter Jillian Leigh Vassallo.
Connie leaves behind to mourn her passing, Janice Chapman (Andrew, Sarah, Mark and Oliver); Greg Vassallo (Darlene, Ryan and Katy); Susan Vassallo; Carol Elkoussy (Safa, Mike, Kathryn, Elle, Quinn, Adam, Mackenzie, Annabelle and Madilyn); Pat Harasym (Mike, Chris and Charlene); and Paul Vassallo (Janine).
Connie’s passing has left us heartbroken but she lived a long and happy life. She was often heard telling her fellow Tapestry residents how often she moved after she and Frank married. Connie was a very strong woman who was kind and gentle in her approach to others. She loved her family, a (very) sweet cup of tea, hard candy (there was always a candy dish nearby) and whipped cream.
Connie’s funeral will be attended by family only due to the COVID 19 restrictions.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Vancouver General Hospital Foundation, BC Children’s Hospital or a charity of your choice.
