She was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on March 20, 1931 and was preceded in death by her husband, Mario and her parents, Amelia Manna and Luigi Romaniello.
She was a dedicated homemaker with a passion for baking and cooking, especially gourmet Italian recipes, as well as gardening and flower arranging. She enjoyed listening to and playing classical music, her favorite being Chopin. Her strong Catholic faith and family gatherings brought her so much joy.
Connie is survived by her daughters, Debra Ann Giove and Lisa Marie Giove; grandchildren, Kristin Wustholz and Joshua Patterson; and great-grandchild, Matthew Patterson.
Services are being provided privately by St. Bede Catholic Church.
