Constance “Connie” Marie (Rizzio) Kehoe, left to be with the Lord on Tuesday, November, 11, 2025. Connie was born on June 11, 1941, in Lawrence, MA to the late Fred and Sandra (Crifo) Rizzio. Her family relocated to Hartford when she was very young. Connie graduated from Hartford Public High School in 1958 and married the love of her life, Ron Kehoe, in 1961. They went on to have two children, Kevin and Lisa.
In her younger years, Connie worked as a secretary at Collins and Rockwell. She also worked for Tashjian & Caron, where she had fun times. Connie and Ron relocated to Massachusetts for several years, where she was able to be a doting Nani to two of her grandsons. When her granddaughter was born, she was also able to be a wonderful Nani to her.
Connie and Ron relocated back to Rocky Hill in 2007 and were there until December of 2024 when they moved back to MA to live with their daughter because of Connie’s illness. Connie spent the last year at The Branches of North Attleboro, an assisted living facility that she loved living at. She also loved many residents and especially the staff there.
Left to mourn Connie is her devoted and heartbroken husband, Ron, whom she shared 64 years of marriage with. She will be forever missed by her son, Kevin Kehoe and his wife Julie and their daughter Kate of Heber City, UT; her daughter, Lisa O’Connell and her husband Dan and her grandsons, Ricky and Griffin, all of North Attleboro. Connie also leaves her beloved Cecelia, Ricky’s wife, as well as two step-grandchildren, Skylar and Piper; her sister, Gloria Lombardo of Newington; her sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Judy and Kent Baglin of Georgia, along with many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends . Connie was predeceased by her parents; her brother, Anthony Rizzio and his wife Marie Rizzio; her sister, Patricia Kruse and her brother-in-law, Joseph Lombardo.
Connie loved to travel and her last trip was to Aruba in 2023 following the marriage of her oldest grandson, Ricky. We can safely say that was one of her most enjoyable vacations which she enjoyed with Ron, Lisa and Dan.
Connie’s family would like to extend their thanks to the wonderful staff at the Branches of North Attleboro, especially Patty, Maura, Kelsey, Erika, Lisa and Nidia. They also send much love to Molly and Sabrina of Beacon Hospice, who provided love and care to Connie in the last several months. Connie will be missed by all……until we meet again…
