graduated in 1947. Formerly of Plymouth, Mass., Constance was a member of the Plymouth

She later married Philip V. "Tip" Cavallini. They spent several happy years together and 
especially enjoyed fishing and boating in Plymouth Harbor. Mr. Cavallini died May 14, 1980.

Constance moved to East Windsor in 1997 to be closer to her children. She was a member of 
the East Windsor Historical Society. Constance was a devoted mother and grandmother who 
enjoyed cooking, crossword puzzles, and card games with friends. She taught her family, 
by example, the value of loyalty, strength, honesty, and love. She is remembered for many 
things, among them her constancy, courage, independence, and a grand sense of humor.

Constance is survived by her son, Jeffery H. Mowry, and a daughter and son-in-law, Susan
