Constance Danko

Constance(Bartolotta)Danko, 96, of Middletown, wife of Stanley Danko, passed away on Friday July 8th after a long and happy life. Known as "Connie" to her friends and "Tina" to her family, Constance grew up in Cromwell as the daughter of Sebastian and Josephine (D'Aquila) Bartolotta. Connie spent her entire adult life in Middletown, where she raised her four children. Always great with her hands, she spent years working as a seamstress with Carmelo Coats, developing skills which came in handy over the years with all of her family's sewing needs. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and aunt to her large, extended family. In her younger years, Connie loved to travel, going on cruises with Stan and always finding a slot machine on which to try her luck. She also loved "anything on stage" and thoroughly enjoyed plays, skits, and music. In her later years, Connie enjoyed being at home, venturing out mostly to visit family in the area or in the occasional search for the perfect hot dog or lobster roll. Otherwise, Connie was happy taking care of Stan or cooking her family's favorite meals (occasionally she would share a recipe) whenever they'd come to visit. In addition to her husband of more than 65 years, Connie is survived by her four children: Nicholas Misenti (wife Bev) of Higganum, Diana Morgan of Waterbury, Michael Danko (wife Mary) of Woodside, CA, and Mark Danko (wife Lisa) of Middletown. She also leaves her grandchildren Kim, Kelly, Christopher, Corey and Emily, six great grandchildren, her "favorite" brother Eddie Bartolotta (wife Anne) of Cromwell; and many beloved nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her sisters, Josephine Formisano and Ida Tortorigi; and brother, Tony Bartolotta. Her Funeral Liturgy will be held Friday (July 15th) at 11 a.m. at St. Pius X Church, 310 Westfield St., Middletown. Burial will be in Rose Hill Memorial Park, Rocky Hill. Friends may call at St. Pius X Church on Friday from 10 to 11 a.m. To share memories or express condolences online please visit www.biegafuneralhome.com.
