Constance V McGrath

Connie was born in Hinsdale, Il, the third of five daughters, to Leo and Vera Boldenweck (deceased).

After graduating from Notre Dame University in Belmont, CA, Connie married and began her first career, raising six children with Jerry McGrath (deceased). When her children were grown, and as a single woman, she went back to school and earned a Masters degree in Marriage and Family Counseling from Santa Clara University. With her degree in hand, Connie launched her second career as a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. She helped many children in her private practice and as a consultant for elementary schools.

Connie is survived by her children Wendy (Peary), Joe (Sue), Megan (Sam), Jim (Lori), and Sheila (Chuck); sisters Judy, Robin, Kevil, and Wendy; ten grandchildren, three great grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her youngest daughter Kathleen (Mike).

Connie will be remembered as a smart, kind, thoughtful woman who loved to read in the garden, or wherever she could find a quiet spot, and who was there to lend an ear if you needed advice. She will be greatly missed.

A memorial service will be held at Lima Family Santa Clara Mortuary on Saturday, April 7, at 10:30 a.m.
