They enjoyed trips to Las Vegas and Atlantic City.  Connie had many interests including bowling and bingo. 

Connie lived for her husband and children. They were the center of her life.  Connie worked as a Teacher’s aid but her greatest role was that of homemaker and mother. Growing up in the North End, with parents from Sicily, Connie brought the Sicilian culture into her own home.  She was a great cook and made the best meatballs and gravy. She attended all Anthony and Andrea's events when they were growing up. Connie had a close circle of friends that were all hockey mom's that affectionately called themselves the “ice cubes”. As a group they attended all their son’s hockey games and all the events surrounding the hockey program. As her children married and her family grew with grandchildren, Connie was there for all the important moments in her grandchildren’s lives. Connie was blessed this past summer to be a part of her granddaughter Brittany’s marriage to Joey Clark. It was a wonderful day for the Savoia family that will hold many special memories for the entire family.  Connie had a special relationship with all her grandchildren and made them each feel they were the most important person to her. She wasn’t just their grandma she was their best friend. 

Connie had a great personality. She was loving, caring and compassionate to every person that crossed her path.
