Constance "Connie" Ann Perelli, 75, of Nashua, passed away surrounded by loved ones on July 31, 2025.

Born on September 11, 1949, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Constance was the daughter of the late Joseph Albanese and Anne (Cloutman) Albanese. She graduated from Somerville High School and worked for many years as an administrative assistant at Corning until her retirement.

Constance was married to the late Daniel A. Perelli, Jr., with whom she shared a loving marriage until his passing in June 2019. Together, they built a life filled with love, laughter, and adventure.

Constance had a deep appreciation for life's simple pleasures. She enjoyed camping trips and traveling especially her many trips to the Dominican Republic, spent hours immersed in books and crossword puzzles, and was an avid cribbage player. A lifelong fan of the Boston Red Sox, she never missed a chance to cheer on her team.

Constance is survived by her children, Heather Cottier and her fiancé, Michael Carriere, of Nashua, and Tara Ruttle and her significant other, David Oldham, of Cambridge. She also leaves behind her grandchildren, Joseph and Jordan; her sister, Sandra Boyle of Freedom, NH; and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

She was predeceased by her former husband Joseph Ruttle.

Services will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Constance's name to the COPD Foundation at https://www.copdfoundation.org/ or the MSPCA at https://www.mspca.org/.
