Constance F. Kotoski

Constance F. (Osborne) Kotoski passed away in the home she treasured on Sunday, January 19, 2025. Connie was a resident of Westminster for almost 62 years.

Connie was born on July 20, 1936, to Alton and Grace (Brown) Osborne. She grew up in

Gardner, graduating from Gardner High School in 1954. After graduation, she attended the Newton-Wellesley School of Nursing where she met many lifelong friends. Connie was always proud to be a nurse. She worked at Henry Heywood Memorial Hospital before becoming a mother and raising her family. Later in life, she worked at Digital Equipment Corporation. She was also a substitute nurse for the Ashbumham-Westminster School District.

It was the year 1956 when Connie met Michael Kotoski, Jr. It was a snowy day when they married on February 8, 1958. They spent the next 43 years happily raising a family, traveling, and truly enjoying each other's company. Connie was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Her time spent with family meant the world to her. Summer vacations with family and friends at the beach in Maine were a favorite. She loved her home and took great care of it, inside and out. She enjoyed taking care of her gardens. She loved visiting the library and reading new books. Connie was a great cook and baker. Her Christmas cookies were enjoyed by all!

Connie is survived by a family who loved and appreciated her. She leaves a daughter, Karen Perrett, and her husband, Bill, two sons, Michael Kotoski Ill, and Matthew Kotoski and his wife, Brenda. She will also be remembered by her seven grandchildren, all of whom she loved so much: Jake Perrett, Travis Perrett, Ben Perrett, Hannah Kotoski, Abbey Kotoski, Brandon Chiasson, and Grace Kotoski. She was thrilled to become a great-grandmother and leaves five great-grandchildren, Sadie, Dean, Theodore, Lukas, and the latest addition to the family, Rocco. Connie will be missed by many other family members and friends.

She was predeceased by her parents, her husband, Michael Kotoski, and her sister, Barbara Rameau.
