Connie was born on March 1, 1934, in Beebe River New Hampshire. She graduated as a registered nurse from Massachusetts General Hospital School of Nursing then moved to Ritzie Village, Linglestown PA with her beloved husband of 34 years, Robert “Bob” May. Connie and Bob enjoyed their country life and made many cherished memories before Bob May preceded her in heaven in 1989. Connie furthered her career as the director of operations at the Children’s Care Center in Hummelstown PA for 25 years.
Connie was a devout member of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church. She volunteered at the Holy Spirit Hospital and fed the hungry of Central Pennsylvania with the company of her cherished second husband James “Jim” Patterson who preceded her in heaven in 2012.
Connie was a lifelong learner and a lover of life, who enjoyed spending time with her family, friends and her dear friend Ed Schane. She traveled the world, read countless books and gave inspiration and “her opinion” to many. She touched everyone that had the pleasure of knowing her. Connie made this world a better place and encouraged us all to do the same. She was many things to many people, but to everyone she was compassionate, understanding and loving. She is remembered as a “classy lady” and a beloved “Nan.” She was deeply loved and will be greatly missed.
Connie is survived by her son Robert R May Jr and his wife Sandra; daughter Catherine DiGiacomo and her husband Tom; four step children Jim, Lynn, Susan, Trish; eleven grandchildren Heather, Jennifer, Frank, Sarah, Rob, Ashley, Paul, Laura, Jamie, Shannon; nine great grandchildren Elizabeth, Jenna, Ryan, Tyra, Jordan, Bailey, Brooklyn, Brielle, Mason, Gage; two great great grandsons Jahki and Calvin.
