Constance "Connie" Kogos Saba

Constance (Connie) Marie Kogos Saba went home peacefully to be with the Lord at 9:00am Friday, December 6th, 2019, at the Heritage Manor of Mandeville nursing home with her son and daughter-in-law at her side. Born December 6th, 1925, the eldest daughter of the late Samuel Christ and Fanny Batrous Kogos, Connie had made 94 that day. She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 54 years, George Edward Saba, her daughter Elena Marie Saba Winker (Gary), her brothers George Kogos, Theodore Samuel Kogos and sister Elaine Kogos Alix. She is survived by her son, Theodore George Saba (Lorraine), two grandchildren, Stephen Garnet Winker and Christopher George Winker and three step-granddaughters Christa Winker White (Glen), Danielle Winker Pope (Alton) and Elizabeth Winker Espinosa (Andre). She will also be fondly remembered by her nieces and nephews. A 1943 graduate of Sophie B. Wright High School and having attended Soulé Business College thereafter, Connie was a life-long resident of the New Orleans area, spending the most recent 12 years in Covington. The family greatly appreciates the services rendered to Connie in the last few months of her life by the employees of Heritage Manor and St. Catherine’s Hospice.
