Connie was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend. To some she was known as Connie but to most she was a Grammy. She had an avid fan of crossword puzzles, ceramics and mostly cooking. Her house was always filled with family on Sunday’s and holidays for a big Italian supper. There was always more than enough food, love and laughter to go around and you never left the house hungry.
Connie worked at the company Triangle Inc. for over 30 years until her retirement in 2009.
She was married to the late William McEachern. They lived on Harvard Street in Malden where they lived for many years and raised their three sons.

She was Grammy to five grandchildren: Brittany, Emily, Michael, Eric, Amanda, and a great grandmother of five. Connie was a beloved aunt to many nieces and nephews and so many loving friends and will be missed dearly and forever remembered.
