Connie DeMartino

Connie DeMartino was born in Williamsburg, Brooklyn to Nicholas Vareton and Concetta Jean Caropreso on July 30, 1934. She passed peacefully on May 4, 2025 surrounded by family after a sudden illness. She grew up in Williamsburg but graduated from Washington Irving High School, an all-girls school in Manhattan. She was interested in photography, travel, and horses, and was fiercely independent. She married Louis in 1960 and raised her family in Flushing, NY and was known for her volunteering at The Queens Historical Society where she was a Trustee and a vital member of this important institution for over 50 years. She was active in her local church, St. Andrew Avellino, along with her husband who predeceased her in 2024. She was a spirited individual who was a great fighter for any cause that she deemed worthy. If she was in a room, you knew it. She was an avid NY Mets fan and enjoyed opera and classical music. She leaves her family and friends with fond memories of her determined personality and volunteerism spirit. She will be missed by all, especially by her 4 grandchildren.
