She also loved pool parties, swimming and casual conversation with family and friends. Connie will be lovingly missed and remembered by her husband of 53 years, Marty; her close friends and neighbors, Tom and Joann Ducharme; and many nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her brother, Bart Cassulis and her sister, Betty Sullivan.
