Constance "Connie" Warshowsky passed away peacefully after a battle with colon cancer on February 21, 2024, in Brookline, Massachusetts. She was born on March 14, 1925, in New York City, New York, later living in Freeport, NY.
She was a sharp-witted, dramatic storyteller, a published author, high school and college reading and English teacher, member of Phi Beta Kappa, competitive Scrabble player, radio co-host and co-producer, and avid reader of the New York Times as well as seven-day-a-week crossword completer, enthusiastic first mate, dancer and traveler. Her passions were literature, poetry and most importantly her family.
Constance firmly believed in "giving back" and so she volunteered: reading books aloud recorded for the blind, holding tenure as President of the League of Women Voters, becoming a member of the local bicentennial committee, gardening at the senior center, knitting hats for those undergoing chemotherapy and for those simply in need of hats.
Connie cultivated deep and fulfilling relationships with people around the world.
She delighted in being a “foodie" and is remembered for her particular love of dark chocolate, peanuts, dark chocolate with peanuts and her dear son-in-law's latkes.
Constance was preceded in death by her brother Stanley, husband Solomon and her older daughter Cassandra.
She is survived by her younger daughter Nancy, grandsons Jacob Carino and Max Colt and her son-in-law Jeffrey Colt.
Services were held in New York, and she was buried beside her beloved husband.
Expressions of sympathy are encouraged. Donations may be made in memory of Constance to the Brookline Senior Center in Brookline, MA (www.brooklineseniorcenter.org), the Dana Farber Cancer Center (www.dana-farber.org) or to a charity of your choice.
