Concetta (Connie) Arre Gomes, 86, passed away in Kingwood, TX on January 18, 2016. Born in Westport, CT, she was one of four children of the late Stephen and Mary Arre of Enfield, CT.
Connie leaves behind her loving husband of over 60 years, Joseph W. Gomes, and her sons Joseph, James, and John. She also leaves behind her daughter-in-law Valerie Gomes, Jacqueline Crowder, and her beloved grandchildren Mackenzie, Marissa, and John Gomes, all of whom will miss her very much. She is also survived by her sister Christine Savio, sister-in-law Joanne Coehlo, and brother-in-law Fredrick Gomes, as well as many nieces and nephews. Connie is predeceased by her brothers Stephen and Anthony (Red) Arre, brother-in-laws Ronald and Edward Gomes, and sister-in-law Ruth Wilbur.
Her love was raising her family and watching them grow. While doing so, she was able to enjoy volunteering at the schools her sons attended, knitting, golf, and bowling. Her warm, welcoming smile and engaging personality touched so many.

I am very honored to have known Connie and her be a part of my life for almost 15 years. Her quick wit and incredible sense of humor will be missed. I can not express the amount of laughter her and Mr. Gomes brought to me daily. I am not sure who picked on who more but we always had a good time filled with laughs. Connie will definitely be remembered for her wonderful smile, love, and care she had for everyone that knew her.

Connie,
You and your husband are great people. I waited on you at Denny's in Humble and I couldn't have had a better friend/guest. You both have a spot in my heart forever and ever. We always goofed around and we made each other smile. You never let your desease make you who you are.. You shined through it all the time. I can't believe that your gone.. But if there is any way that I could come say a finial good bye I would. If not, then good bye and I will always think of you as strong, blunt, sarcastic and one of the only customers I truly loved waiting on. You my dear are what's called all around great! Xoxoxo
Love you and miss you,
Christina Fodor
