She was born on October 15, 1938, in Lockport, New York, to Remeo and Orlena Cicciarelli. Connie was a vibrant and loving soul whose life was centered around her faith and family.

Connie's passing leaves an irreplaceable void in the hearts of her family, friends, and all those blessed to have known her. A talented beautician for over 50 years, Connie was also widely known and loved in her community for "Miss Connie's Estate Sales." She is survived by her beloved husband, Thunderbolt and her children: Robert (Thelema) Latini, Michael Latini, and Felicia Latini. She was preceded in death by her daughter, Cherie, and her brothers Tony and Albert Cicciarelli. She is also survived by her two brothers, Milleo Cicciarelli and Kenny Cicciarelli. Connie was a devoted grandmother to 14 grandchildren, a proud great-grandmother to 37, and a cherished great-great-grandmother to 10 great-great-grandchildren.
