Constance was a long-time member of The Embroiderers’ Guild of America where she had many friends. She was a gifted knitter and showed her artistry with lovely embroidery pieces. She found great joy in her beloved Siamese cats over the years and most recently a brown tiger cat named Jack.

Constance was well loved and will be missed by her family and friends. Her family would like to thank the staff of 75 State Street, Portland, Maine, and Beacon Hospice for their care and kindness. Our family plans a private celebration of Life.
