RISHTON, CONSTANCE ROSE SPILOTRAS
Constance Rose Spilotras Rishton died Jan. 1, 2013, at her home in
Summerfield, Florida. She was a beloved mother, grandmother, great-
grandmother, who was born on June 20, 1930, to Joseph and Emanuela 
Spilotras of Brooklyn, N.Y., formerly of Palermo, Italy.  After marriage in 
1951, Connie settled in Hammond, La., and spent the next years raising her 
family. In 1999, Connie and Tommy moved to Summerfield, Florida for their 
retirement years.  She is survived by her husband of almost 62 years, 
Thomas H. Rishton, 5 children, Thomas, Richard, Michael, David and Leah, 20 
grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her 
brothers Frank and John Spilotras.  Preceding Connie in death were her 
sons, Johnny, Paul and Mark.  If anyone would like to pay your respect and 
condolences the visitations of Connie will be at Wright & Calvey funeral 
home and will begin Jan. 19, 2013, at 10 a.m. Services will begin at noon. 
The many people who met Mrs. Connie knew what a beautiful soul she had and 
felt the warmth from her heart. Meeting her once would leave an inprent 
that would last forever.  A quote from Connie's favorite Italian song, 
ÒBachami AncoraÓ could only portray her best:  "A mother, a lover, a 
daughter; A commitment, once a dark cloud. A magnet on a frig, a notebook;
A house, a plane flying. Kiss me again, kiss me again. Everything else is a 
distant sound; A star that expolodes at the edge of heaven. Kiss me again, 
kiss me again. I want to be with you, Follow with you; All of the waves of 
our destiny"  You will be forever in my heart. Love, your only daughter.
