Constance Welch

Constance (Connie) N. Welch, 89, of Worthington Ridge, Berlin, passed away
Wednesday, (December 14, 2022) peacefully after a brief illness. Connie was born in
New Britain, attended New Britain schools, graduating from New Britain High School.
Connie was predeceased by the love of her life, William L. Welch. It was the
marriage they said wouldn’t last since they married as teenagers. They were
married for over 50 years.
Connie leaves two sons and a daughter-in-law, Michael W. Welch and Leonard A. and
Patricia A. Welch, all of Berlin; a daughter, Christina A. Welch of Plainville. She leaves
seven grandchildren: William R. Welch, Rebecca W. Gacek, Peter W. Gacek, Michael
W. Welch, Justyn T. Welch, Stormi H. Welch, Daniel W. Welch, and several great-
grandchildren, to whom she was lovingly known as Gram, Gwenna and Goga.

Connie worked for the State of Connecticut in varying capacities before retiring. She
was also the proud recipient of the ‘Scouter’s Wife Award’, as a result of being the
wife of ‘Boy Scout Bill.’
She will be missed for her fierce independence and love of her family. She was a
tiny firecracker of a woman who was not shy about sharing her thoughts and
giving advice. Connie had great appreciation for a good meal and never
encountered an object that couldn’t benefit from a proper cleaning.
Connie’s family would like to thank the many individuals who took good care of
her – including the Berlin VNA, her neighbors Robert and Martha Bauman and
their children Chris and Kate, Stephen and Cathy Pastuszak, Doug and Maya
Meyers as well as several dear friends.

Connie’s memorial service will be held at Luddy-Peterson Funeral Home – 205
South Main Street, New Britain - from 10am-12pm on Thursday, December 22nd .

Donations in Connie’s name can be made to the Berlin Visiting Nurses Association –
