Constance Warren

Winslow - Constance "Connie" Warren, passed away peacefully at her home in Winslow, Maine on March 12th, 2026, on her 91st birthday. Connie was a devout Catholic and the cherished matriarch of her family. Her life began and ended on the same day, closing life's circle by returning to the Lord and joining her beloved husband, Clement, in eternal rest.

Born in 1935, Connie's life was defined by an extraordinary capacity for love and service. She graduated from Lawrence High School in Fairfield, where she received the Bulldog Award. On April 18th, 1959, she married the love of her life, Dr. Clement J. Warren. Her devotion to her family and community was honored when she was named 1991 Maine Mother of the Year. While the title was official, its truth was felt daily by everyone who knew her; she was a mother not just to her own, but to anyone who met her. Connie was active in the church, teaching CCD, acting as a part of the guild, and was also a lecturer in church. She also served for many years as a Coordinator for ABC Quilts, an organization dedicated to providing handmade quilts to at-risk children.

Connie lived her faith through her actions. Her home was a sanctuary of warmth where the door was always open and the welcome always sincere. She raised her five children teaching them the values of compassion and integrity that remains her greatest legacy. She loved playing cards with her family and friends, and especially spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Connie often made the statement, "This too shall pass", which represented her philosophy of life's ups and downs, no matter the struggle there was always hope to hold onto.

Connie is survived by her five children: Kathy (Peter) Case, Larry (Linda) Warren, Julie (Andre) Dionne, Paul (Jane) Warren, David Warren (Partner Gary Nichols), 7 grandchildren, and 13 great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband, Clement, her brother, David Longstaff, her parents, Cecil and Evelyn Longstaff, and mother-in-law, Rose Warren.

To know Connie was to be loved by her. She will be deeply missed by her family and all who knew and loved her. The family wishes to extend their deepest gratitude to Michelle Bisson, as well as Kalee, Dawn, Deb, and others from the Maine General Hospice team for their compassionate support and kindness.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Saturday, April 18th, 2026, at St. John the Baptist Church, 26 Monument Street, Winslow, ME at 11 a.m. Following the service, the family welcomes you to join them at O'Briens located at the Best Western Plus in Waterville to celebrate Connie's life.
