It is with heavy hearts that the family of Connie Borrelli (nee Cerbini) announces her passing on Saturday, September 21, 2024, at the age of 89. Connie was the beloved wife of the late Luigi Borrelli and a devoted companion to Joe Thomas for 19 wonderful years.

Connie was a treasured sister to the late Delfina Pipolo (Late Luigi), Norina Marcelli (Late Gino), Evana Macri, and the late Leone Cerbini, as well as a beloved sister-in-law to Laura Borrelli and Carol Borrelli. Connie will also be deeply missed by the wonderful family of Joe Thomas.

Connie Borrelli was a beloved wife, mother, and grandmother who exemplified unconditional love and emotional support for her family. With her profound wisdom and insight, she taught those around her the true value of time spent with family and friends, emphasizing that life is not solely about work and financial success. Connie was an elegant, gentle, beautiful and intelligent woman who believed in respect and admiration from all who knew her. Her warmth and kindness created lasting bonds, and she will be dearly missed by her family and friends, who she valued immensely.
