Constance M. “Connie” Bassani, 95, passed away on Sunday, October 23, 2022, at the Saratoga Hospital.
Born July 2, 1927, in Carbondale, PA, she was the daughter of the late Paolo and Julia (Stirpe) Spaziani.
In 1944, Connie married Alfred Bassani in Atlanta, GA, and together they raised their family until his passing in 2013.
Connie was employed as a manager at Montgomery Ward in Oneonta for many years. She enjoyed cooking, crocheting blankets, and growing dahlias in her beautiful gardens. In her later years, Connie wrote poetry. Most of all, she will be remembered for her amazing presence and ability to make everyone smile and feel appreciated. She loved her children and grandchildren and was the type of mother that everyone wishes they had. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
In addition to her parents and her husband, Connie is predeceased by her brothers; Paul Spaziani, Alex Spaziani, and Angelo Spaziani, as well as her sisters; Mary Sweeney, Jenny Gaspara and Madeline Santos.
Left to cherish her memory are her children; Alfred Bassani Jr. (Elizabeth), Anne Bassani, and David Bassani (Robert Haren), her grandchildren; Christina Bassani Drawdy and Alfred Bassani III (Brittany), her great-grandchildren; Austin and Morgan Drawdy, and Blaise and Ava Bassani, as well as several nieces, nephews, and cousins.
At the request of the family, there will be no calling hours. Arrangements are in the care of the M.B. Kilmer Funeral Home, 82 Broadway, Fort Edward, NY 12828.
A graveside service will be celebrated at 2:30PM on Thursday, November 10, 2022, at the Gerald B.H. Solomon Saratoga National Cemetery, 200 Duell Rd, Schuylerville, NY 12871.
The family wishes to extend a special thank you to the residents and staff of Woodlawn Commons for their care and companionship. Connie was extremely happy while she lived there.
