I just can’t say enough good things about Connie. She was my daughter’s kindergarten teacher and was an awesome teacher. I have worked with Connie over the years with the Red Cross and she always had a smile for everyone. Thank you Connie for all that you did for the Hornell community.
i have been lucky enough to be her nephew for nearly 60 years. Aunt Connie was perpetually warm, helpful and good humored. She never forgot a nephew’s birthday and was first in line to offer a hand when the family needed one. Her smile and warmth will be missed forever. Love, Rob
