Born on May 2, 1944, in Philadelphia, PA, to the late Rev. John J.

She spent her early years in Philadelphia, developing a love for languages and learning that led her to earn a master's degree in education. Connie enjoyed a long and fulfilling career as a French teacher in the Vestal School District in Vestal, NY, where she inspired generations of students. She also served as president of the New York State Teachers Association, advocating for educators and quality education statewide. Even after retiring, Connie continued to teach at Seton Catholic School in Binghamton, NY, remaining a beloved member of the school community. A devoted member of the Moravian Church, she lived her faith through service, grace, and compassion. Connie was predeceased by her parents and her sister, Marcy J. Pharo. She is lovingly remembered by her dear friend, Palma Longo of Endicott, NY, and by countless friends, former students, and colleagues whose lives she touched. A graveside service will be held at 1 P.M. on Friday, July 25, 2025 at Nisky Hill Cemetery, Bethlehem, PA, where she will join her parents and sister in eternal rest.
