Barbara Connor Obituary
Barbara Morrone Connor, 69, of New Haven, passed away Oct. 12, 2017 at Smilow Cancer Hospital at Yale. She was the wife of Patrick F. Connor. Barbara was born in New Haven Nov. 14, 1947, daughter of Mrs. Mary Morrone of New Haven and the late Frank J. Morrone. After graduating from Hillhouse High School and Mary Washington College, Barbara's first job was as an aid in the office of Senator Abraham A. Ribicoff in Washington. After a career in government and public relations in New York City, she returned to New Haven and worked for Pearce Real Estate in North Haven from 2007 until early this year. Barbara's generous, giving spirit continually lifted family and friends. She was a ready source of support for all, with special affection for her nieces and nephews.
Besides her husband and mother, she is survived by one brother, Frank Morrone of New Haven; two sisters, Annette (Joseph) Sullivan of Orange and Mary Ann (James) Smith of Hamden; two nieces, Jennifer (Todd) Green and Melissa Smith; one nephew, Joseph (Michelle) Sullivan Jr.; and three great nephews, Shay and Bayley Green and Nikolas Sullivan.

I have such fond memories of Barbara in college. Our little gang of friends at Mary Washington had a lot of fun. I lost touch with Barb after visiting with her and Pat in 2001 in New Haven. I guess I thought there was plenty of time left to renew our friendship -- lesson learned. My thoughts are with the family. I know Barbara will be greatly missed.
