Constance N. Welch

Constance (Connie) N. Welch, 89, of Worthington Ridge, Berlin, passed away Wednesday, (Dec. 14, 2022) peacefully after a brief illness. Connie was born in New Britain, attended New Britain schools, graduating from New Britain High School. Connie was predeceased by the love of her life, William L. Welch. It was the marriage they said wouldn't last since they married as teenagers. They were married for over 50 years.
Connie leaves two sons and a daughter-in-law, Michael W. Welch and Leonard A. and Patricia A. Welch, all of Berlin; a daughter, Christina A. Welch of Plainville. She leaves seven grandchildren: William R. Welch, Rebecca W. Gacek, Peter W. Gacek, Michael W. Welch, Justyn T. Welch, Stormi H. Welch, Daniel W. Welch, and several great-grandchildren, to whom she was lovingly known as Gram, Gwenna and Goga.
Connie worked for the State of Connecticut in varying capacities before retiring. She was also the proud recipient of the 'Scouter's Wife Award', as a result of being the wife of 'Boy Scout Bill.' She will be missed for her fierce independence and love of her family. She was a tiny firecracker of a woman who was not shy about sharing her thoughts and giving advice. Connie had great appreciation for a good meal and never encountered an object that couldn't benefit from a proper cleaning.
Connie's family would like to thank the many individuals who took good care of her - including the Berlin VNA, her neighbors Robert and Martha Bauman, and their children Chris and Kate, Stephen and Cathy Pastuszak, Doug and Maya Meyers, as well as several dear friends.
Connie's memorial service will be held at Luddy-Peterson Funeral Home - 205 South Main Street, New Britain - from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 22nd. Donations in Connie's name can be made to the Berlin Visiting Nurses Association - 240 Kensington Road, Berlin, CT 06037.
