She was born in Pittsford, Vt in 1931 to proud parents, Joy and John Fallon. Connie married her longtime sweetheart, Edwin Lester Burbank in 1951. A Navy career took the couple to many areas of the country to live; including Hawaii, Washington, Virginia, Bermuda and finally retiring to Sandwich in 1968.
Along the way and through the years, Connie embraced what became the most important role of her life; motherhood. She raised five children and was a sweet and loving active grandmother to eight grandchildren and three great grandchildren. Her last wishes were to live long enough to welcome into this world two more great grandchildren, both due to arrive in December. Also included in her wish to live was to witness the nuptials of two more of her grandsons this Fall. She will be attending all of these celebrations in spirit.
