Agnes was born in New Britain, CT on April 14, 1929 to the late Helen and Stanley Dabkowski. She worked at New Britain Public Library as a Children's Librarian at the Thomas Jefferson Branch and a Reference Librarian at the main library (she was the “Google before there was Google”).
Her hobbies and interests included some things stereotypical of a librarian: tea, cats, crocheting and cardigans, but she also loved her Robert Redford, soap operas, puzzles, bingo, traveling with friends and playing cards.
She was predeceased by her husband, William T. Connelly and her daughter, Agnes C. Nejfelt, but survived by her daughter Joann C. Zajac and husband, David D. Zajac. Agnes is also survived by her four grandchildren: James Shaw, Laura Shaw, Sarah Zajac and Kyle Zajac and three great-grandchildren: Juliana, Joseph and James.
