Jeffery, Maryann Sine (Keith), and Concetta "Connie" Wencius (John); her grandchildren, Tony (Gloria), Bob (Stephanie), Ron, Jason (Fran), and Jessie; her great-grandchildren, Tori, Anthony, Jordan, Chrissy, Brianna, Collin, and Juliana. She is also survived by her brother, Francis Veltre.

Connie is very much loved and will be dearly missed by all. She leaves behind many cherished memories and was the light of her family's lives.
The family would like to thank all the staff at both Manor Care Pike Creek and Heartland Hospice for their care of Connie in these final days.
Interment will take place in All Saints’ Cemetery. All services will be private.
