Connie Jo Premuroso

59, beloved sister, aunt and dear friend of Chris McKenna passed away August 22nd at home in Palm Beach Gardens after an eight year, heroic bout with cancer. Connie was a local real estate broker at Lang Realty, but was most proud of her experiences as a world traveler, having lived overseas in Dusseldorf, Germany, London, England and Singapore. While living overseas for almost 15 years, Connie traveled to over 40 countries with her most memorable experiences in Nepal (her favorite), Viet Nam and Sydney, Australia. Connie excelled at being a local tour guide to visiting siblings, their families and friends.

Connie was born in Bethesda, Maryland in 1953 to the late Captain Jonathan Q. (U.S. Navy, retired) and Jacqueline Rasmussen. She lived throughout the East Coast, while her father served in the U.S. Navy. She also grew up in California, New Jersey and Plantation, Florida where she completed high school and attended Florida State University, graduating with a B.S. in Communicative Arts.

While overseas, Connie was very active in the American Women’s Association in Germany, where she served as President, and Singapore, where she served as First Vice-President. After living overseas, Connie settled in Palm Beach Gardens and worked as an interior designer before embarking on her career as a real estate broker at Illustrated Properties before joining Lang Realty.

Connie was predeceased by a sister, Carol Ann, and is survived by four siblings and their families: Nicole Loft and her husband Terry of Salmon, Idaho, Larry Rasmussen and his wife Lilliam of Berkeley Heights, New Jersey, Lynn Cicchini and her husband Robert of Plantation, Florida and Richard Rasmussen of La Habra, California.

Connie’s family wants to especially thank Connie’s long-time friend, Chris, for everything he did for their sister.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions to the Hospice of Palm Beach County Foundation www.hpbcf.org or the American Cancer Society www.cancer.org.

A memorial service and celebration of life reception are planned for Saturday, August 25th at 4 pm, Aycock-Riverside Funeral Home, 1112 Military Trail, Jupiter, Florida, 33458.
